Synopsis This is a metaphysical book which dwells upon the concept of the ultimate progression of man into a highly enlightened species called the Supramental being, towards which, the author says, the intermediary stage has already been reached. "As man arose of animal, so out of man superman shall," said Sri Aurobindo. Overman is a metaphysical book which dwells upon concept of the ultimate progression on man into a highly enlightened spices called the supramental being, towards which, the author says, the intermediary stage (the Overman) has already been reached. The Mother's French term, ' surhomme', meaning the intermediary between the human and the supramental being, the author feels, has been wrongly translated as 'superman'. Therefore, he says that, "to clearly indicate the place the intermediary being occupies in the ongoing evolution beyond humankind, I find it essential to translate surhomme as 'Overman'.
