Nietzsche, great suffering, great health, overmanAbstract
The solution to the problem of the dwarfing of human being does not pass through the elimination of suffering, but rather through training in what Nietzsche calls “great suffering”. Sickness is a paradigmatic case of suffering that can serve as a stimulus to life. Thus, health cannot consist merely in the elimination of sickness. “Great health” is the concept used by Nietzsche to describe the state reached by someone who is capable of enduring “great suffering”: the “overman”.
