IKBAL I NIČE: SAVRŠEN ČOVJEK I NATČOVJEK
IQBAL AND NIETZSCHE: THE PERFECT MAN AND SUPERMAN

Summary/Abstract: Iqbal knows the Western European culture and civilization, European science and philosophy, classical and contemporary: he knows Plato, Bacon, Kant, Leibniz, Einstein, especially Bergson and Nietzsche. Bergson’s understanding of time as pure duration and Nietzsche’s ideas and theories about the Superman, about re-evaluation of all values and the eternal return of the same but not equal are a special inspiration to Iqbal. They have been the subject of Iqbal’s criticism: pure duration as real historical time, as “time in God” which does not precede to the I / Ego, a perfect man or Superman in Islamic thought, “insan kamil” – and it’s every man – wins the Spiritual Hierarchy and verticals of upper world and surpasses the dangers of Euro-Germanic choseness of materiality of existence of Nietzsche’s anti-Semitic Euro-centric Superman as a man of the West.
