Nietzsche without qualities: A theory of life/practice

My text develops a philosophy of life that is founded upon Nietzsche\u27s notion of self-overcoming. I have situated my discussion within the context of Robert Musil\u27s The Man Without Qualities. My contention is that in the absence of qualities, or a rigid self-conception, life can be taken up as an art.
