This paper mainly explores and assesses the place of cruelty in the context of Nietzsche’s work. This topic must be approached, from our perspective, taking into account the Nietzschean vision of human beings, their evolution and the way they shape their world. In this sense, we will defend the idea that Nietzsche's ideas related to cruelty have to be understood as part of a general message of acceptance of human limitations, to give way to new types of human beings.
