: does nietzsche's injunction "amor
: fati" imply he believed every obstacle
: that arises in life was an opportunity to
: grow towards one's full potential?
: (presumably the "ubermensch".)
Maybe not every obstacle. I'm thinking of this from "Wagner at Bayreuth:"
"To me the most vital question of philosophy appears to be the extent of the unchangeable character of the world; so that, once the answer to that question is known, one can strive to improve the changeable part with the most ruthless courage."
I think this phrase contains both amor fati and the going beyond the ordinary (towards the over-human).
