Nietzsche writes of the 'free spirit' or 'free thinker' (German: freigeist), and his role in society; [13] a sort of proto-Übermensch, forming the basis of a concept he extensively explores in his later work, Thus Spoke Zarathustra. A free spirit is one who goes against the herd, and "onwards along the path of wisdom" in order to better ...

In section 3 of the preface of The Gay Science, he writes: Only great pain is the ultimate liberator of the spirit…. I doubt that such pain makes us ‘better’; but I know that it makes us more ...
