Tschandala

Encyclopedia : T : TS : TSC : Tschandala

Tschandala is a term Nietzsche borrowed from the Indian caste-system, where a Tschandala is a member of the lowest social class. For Nietzsche, the Tschandala marks the notion opposite to the Übermensch (den Gegensatz-Begriff). The Tschandala is a product of the uncontrolled mixture of races and classes, he is a hodge-podge human (Mischmasch-Menschen). According to Nietzsche, Christianity, born out of Judaism and only understandable by this origin, is the adequate religion of the Tschandala (cf. The Twilight of the Idols/Die Goetzendaemmerung).
