The German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, in one of his most well-known works, 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra', presents the concept of the 'Superman' (Übermensch), as a figure to be achieved by man, surpassing his limits and transcending his human condition. This thought is strongly influenced by the historical-cultural context of the 19th century, marked by great scientific and technological advances, as well as profound social and political transformations. Considering this contextualization, how does Nietzsche's idea of the 'Superman' relate to the changes that occurred in the 19th century and what is the impact of this historical context on the formation of this concept?
