Full Idea
To see the new greatness not above oneself, not outside oneself, but to make a new function from it.
Gist of Idea
We can aspire to greatness by creating new functions for ourselves
Source
Friedrich Nietzsche (Unpublished Notebooks 1881-82 [1882], 13[19])
A Reaction
Thus we might combine the Aristotelian and the existentialist views! Do we discover our function or invent it? Anyone who acquires an expertise is creating a new function for themselves, presumably with a high value.
