Thus Spoke Zarathustra: A Book for All and None
by Friedrich Nietzsche, Walter Kaufmann
by Friedrich Nietzsche, Walter Kaufmann
I'm sure it's very banal of me to point out how the bulk of this work is a contradiction of Neitzsche's main premise, but what he mostly seems to me to be saying is, 'Think for yourself, be original, be a maverick, and thou shalt do so in precisely thus & such a way. That way you can sacrifice yourself and your own aspirations to the possibility that somebody else in the future might become the Superman.' That criticism notwithstanding, there are a lot of ideas in the book worth mulling over, and there's no denying the brilliance of Neitzsche's performance here. Flawed just like any Bible, but full of interest just the same.
