What is Shaw's Concept of Life-force and of Superman in “Man and Superman”?

Shaw's Concept of Life-force and of Superman in "Man and Superman"

 

Life force is Shaw's name for creative evolution and his main philosophy outlook that he wants to draw in Man and Superman. Shaw called his play "a dramatic parable of creative evolution- and added that 'nobody noticed this new religion in the center of the intellectual whirlpool." Superman is the higher being evolved from those few who are dedicated to contemplation and who have rejected base aims and the pursuit of happiness as the goals of life.
