Abstract
There is general agreement that the globe is facing a crisis of the Anthropocene. The crisis
has taken on such dimensions that a new way of thinking has become necessary. Or maybe a
new way of being has become necessary, or maybe a new way of being thought has become
necessary. What transformations (Verwandlungen) are necessary to arrive at this way of being
thought? Maybe Nietzsche’s three transformations can guide towards a new way of being
thought towards the Übermensch of the Anthropocene.
