Description

It’s quite likely that your thinking has been influenced at one point or another by Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, or at least someone who was influenced by Nietzsche. Nietzsche (1844-1900) was one of the most influential men of the 19th century, a German philosopher, poet, and composer who wrote about religion, morality, contemporary culture, philosophy and science. In addition to the importance of his work, he was a deft writer, displaying a fondness for metaphor, irony and aphorism.
Nietzsche's influence remains substantial within and beyond philosophy today, most notably in existentialism, nihilism and postmodernism, all thriving movements today. His style and radical questioning of the value and objectivity of truth have resulted in much commentary and interpretation.
Thus Spake Zarathustra is one of Nietzsche’s better known philosophical works, touching on metaphysical ideas like the “death of God” while following the travels of the title character, Zarathustra. At times, Nietzsche writes in poetic verse, other times more experimental forms of writing, and reaches the conclusion that things eternally recur. This edition of Nietzsche’s Thus Spake Zarathustra is specially formatted with a Table of Contents and is illustrated with over a dozen pictures.
