The article provides an attempt at reconstruction of Nietzsche’s views concerning the character of Overman’s power in the future society. The most basic issue is to define who Overman is. According to Nietzsche, contemporary human being exhibits a tendency towards nihilism, mainly due to decadent values which he embraces. In order to renounce nihilism, it is imperative to revaluate all the values which, until now, had determined our humanity. In other words it is necessary to overcome our humanity. Only the strongest individuals who are capable of multiplying their will to power which is the essence of reality are able to achieve this purpose. It is them who, after this moment of purification when they start constructing new values, can become Overmen i.e. true and authentic creators. Since only a minority of human beings can overcome their humanity, it is them who will wield power in a hierarchical society of the future. The article presents the analysis of this authority, meaning the question of its possessor, source, legitimacy, sovereignty and scope. In other words it deals with the issue of role and function of Overman’s power in society. These elements are indispensable in order to fi nd an answer to the question whether political power as projected by Nietzsche is of authoritarian or maybe totalitarian character. This question is quite often asked because of the philosopher’s criticism towards democratic rule and also because of Nazi recognition – though unsubstantiated – of Nietzsche as a precursor of their ideological outlook. It appears that the in-depth comparison of the character of Overman’s power with the features of authoritarianism or totalitarianism justifies the conclusion that Nietzsche’s vision is not at all similar to axiology embodied in those systems. The only resemblance in this respect can be found in the emphasis placed on the absolute character of Overman’s authority over society. Nevertheless this authority – according to Nietzsche – is a creation of values the purpose of which is development and enhancement of will to power and not repression of individuals.

The article focuses on the conception of human in Nietzsche’s thought, especially on his category of self-affirmation. Nietzsche believes that after destruction of traditional values it is possibile to love oneself fully and unconditionally. He is trying to reinstate joy of existence to humans and connect individual will with earthly life (wholeness). The figures of free spirit, Overman and child are the ground to achieve this goal.

The article presents the conception of freedom in Nietzsche's thought in the three periods of his writings. In the first period Nietzsche believe that freedom is connected with estethical-tragic contempletion in the Greek tragedy. He also points out that freedom is culture-forming act in the unity with oneself and with the world. In the second period Nietzsche says that to become truly free is to liberate oneself from the metaphysics and religious tradition. In the third period Nietzsche is convinced that only those who have gived themselves the law which is an expression of their nature are truly free.
