https://doi.org/10.18384/2949-5148-2025-3-35-44
Abstract
Aim. To compare Zhuangzi’s and Nietzsche’s philosophical ideas about life ideals.
Methodology. Comparative analysis of the notions of “serene freedom” and “bermensch” was used in the study.
Results. Both similarities, that are searching for higher life and critique of values, and differences, which consist in Eastern harmony and Western will to power, have been revealed.
Research implications. Enhancing intercultural philosophical dialogue and applying ideals of freedom to contemporary humanism are implications of the study.
