About this product

Product Information

A tremendously influential philosophical work of the late nineteenth century, Thus Spake Zarathustra is also a literary masterpiece by one of the most important thinkers of modern times. In it, the ancient Persian religious leader Zarathustra (or Zoroaster) serves as the voice for Friedrich Nietzsche's views, which include the introduction of the controversial doctrine of the bermensch, or "superman." Although later perverted by Nazi propagandists, the bermensch was conceived by Nietzsche to designate the ultimate goal of human existence as the achievement of greatness of will and being. He was convinced that the individual, instead of resigning himself to the weakness of being human and worshipping perfection only possible in the next world (at least in the Christian view), should try to perfect himself during his earthly existence, and transcend the limitations of conventional morality. By doing so, the bermensch would emerge victorious, standing in stark contrast to "the last man" -- an uncreative conformist and complacent hedonist who embodies Nietzsche's critique of modern civilization, morality, and the Christian religion. Written in a passionate, quasi-biblical style, Thus Spake Zarathustra is daring in form and filled with provocative, thought-provoking concepts. Today, the work is regarded as a forerunner of modern existentialist thought, a book that has provoked and stimulated students of philosophy and literature for more than 100 years.

  • Thus Spoke Zarathustra (A Book for All and None)

    * * * * * You may not agree with what Friedrich Nietzsche believes, but his works are still worth reading. They induce great thought and existential thinking. Many of his views I disagree with, however I love reading his thoughts. Really makes you think. Thus Spoke Zarathustra is written in a fictional, story-type setting. The character Zarathustra makes speeches on philosophic topics. Walter Kaufmann translates Nietzsche's original German into English. Other works from Nietzsche (Kaufmann, and others, have translated as well) include: - Human, All Too Human - Daybreak - The Gay Science - Beyond Good and Evil - On the Genealogy of Morals - The Case of Wagner - The Twilight of the Idols - The Antichrist - Ecce Homo ============================ Here is my favorite quote from ...
