Philosophy

The Übermensch

«

I am ze Übermensch! Cliquer pour écouter — The Medic

»

The Übermensch (German; English: Overman, Superman) is a concept in the Philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. Nietzsche posited the Übermensch as a goal for humanity to set for itself in his 1883 book Thus Spoke Zarathustra (German: Also Sprach Zarathustra).

Interestingly, the idea of the "Übermensch" was also further developed by the Nazis, using the term to denote the Aryans as the "Superhuman" race. Although within the same period of time, the Medic's voice command was most likely referring to the initial aforementioned idea, due to Valve stating that the Medic was not a Nazi. ^{[citation nécessaire]} This fits with the Medic's sadism and his ethical procedures and methods (or lack thereof), as Nietzsche's concept of the übermensch orbits around moral values and the progress of humanity and their interactions.

'Horrido' is a traditional German hunting and war cry.

It is also possible that, due to the fact that the Medic's hometown of Stuttgart is close to the German-French border, the line is "On y go," a modern variant of "On y va" (translation: roughly, "let's go" or "let's begin"; directly, "one goes there") with the English word "go" replacing its French equivalent. This would be the only case where the Medic speaks in a language other than English or German.

"Primum non Nocere"

Achievement: First Do No Harm

Primum non nocere is a Latin phrase that means "First, do no harm." The phrase is sometimes recorded as primum nil nocere.

The phrase expresses one of the principal precepts all medical students are taught in medical school and is a fundamental principle for the emergency medical services. It reminds the physician and other health care providers that she or he must consider the possible harm that any intervention might do. This is most often mentioned when debating use of an intervention with an obvious chance of harm but a less certain chance of benefit. Since at least 1860, the phrase has been for physicians a hallowed expression of hope, intention, humility, and recognition that human acts with good intentions may have unwanted consequences.
