Abstract

The concept of the “superhuman” has evolved through philosophical, literary, and popular culture lenses, finding its most dramatic representations in the works of Friedrich Nietzsche and contemporary thinker Yuval Noah Harari. This paper explores the juxtaposition of Nietzsche’s Übermensch and Harari’s god-like future humans against the backdrop of cinematic heroes in Bollywood and Holly wood and the non-violent, moral figure of Mahatma Gandhi. The article delves into how these varied representations of superhumanity reflect different cultural and ethical values, particularly in the context of contemporary Indian politics and global conflicts such as the Israeli-Palestinian situation.

Keywords: Gandhi, Übermensch, Harrari, Nietschze, Homo Deus
