Thus Spake Zarathustra is certainly Nietzsche's most controversial and probably his
most important work. The concepts that "God is Dead" and "Eternal Recurrence" with
their attendant ramifications are major features of this work. Highly original and
inventive, Thus Spake Zarathustra defies simple categorization. Part literature, part
philosophy, it parodies both, in its stylistic resemblance to the New Testament and P
re-Socratic Greek writings. Through a fictionalized version the character Zarathustra,
the legendary founder of Zoroasterianism, Nietzsche propounds a new and different
version of moral philosophy. During the course of the story presented in this loosely
structured narrative, Nietzsche develops and presents a contrary view of mankind: as
lying somewhere between the apes and the ultimate Superman, or Ubermensch. Ranging
from unsupported assumptions to rigorous argument - from exposition to dialog to
poetry - Thus Spake Zarathustra is a surprising, engaging and thought provoking
look at the condition of mankind. Nietzsche himself considered this to be his
most important work.
His tragic end, in a state of complete mental breakdown, precluded any possibility
that it would be superseded and raised a question of the association between madness
and genius.
Includes unique illustrations.
