New philosophers#
Summary#
New philosophers are envisioned as future leaders strong and original enough to initiate opposite estimates of value and “transvalue eternal valuations.” They are forerunners who will fix constraints and compel humanity to take new paths, teaching mankind that its future depends on human will rather than chance. These philosophers represent a new type of commander needed to end the “frightful rule of folly and chance” that has governed history, and their potential absence or degeneration is presented as the gravest danger facing humanity.
