Dionysian, Comprehensiveness, Empowerment
In #6 of the 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra' section of Ecce Homo, Nietzsche classifies "the most comprehensive soul" as a "concept of Dionysus". Now, as has been previously discussed, in #257 of Beyond Good and Evil, Comprehensiveness is correlated with Power. Accordingly, in its mature version, the Dionysian principle is transformed from a destroyer of Individuality to an empowerment of it, i. e. to a cumulative process, in which destruction becomes overcoming and retention, as phases of an increase in comprehensiveness.
