Thus Spoke Zarathustra | Friedrich Nietzsche

Thus Spoke Zarathustra: A Book For All and None was Nietzsche’s favourite of his creations. It is indeed one of the most fascinating and creative pieces of work in western philosophy.
It presents the journey of Persian prophet Zarathustra, who spends his time in solitude in the mountains for ten years and grows weary of his wisdom, beginning his down-going to humanity to teach them what he has learned.
Zarathustra's principal teachings are: the Übermensch (Overman), the Eternal Recurrence and the Will to Power.

    Its always strange when i hear this story, as it seems to speak greatly to the journey ive had. The camel, the lion, and the child. Baring the weight, challenging the established systems of value, then striving to create my own, founded on reason. It's as if nietzsche - through this story - in part summarized the journey to coming to ones own terms with reality - to overcoming culture and becoming ones own being. It's earie that its a path i tread before i knew of nietzsche's name. But its great that such a story like this exists - one that lays our the reality of our being so well - that we mush overcome ourselves to become what we have potential to be.

    I think each part was written itself in 10 days not the whole book. His sister spoke of this in the introduction of some versions I possess. She states that he wrote the first part in the winter of 1882-1883 near Genoa, the second part bewteen the 26 of Juny and 6 of July in the same year in Sils Maria (Switzerland), the third part in the winter of 1883-1884 in Nice and the fourth part, with lots of breaks and revisions, he started in September of 1984 in Zurich and finished in February of 1985 in Nice. The versions i possess are in greek so I don't know from which international versions they have been translated but they state that the introductory part was taken from the Nietzsche archive in Weimar, July 1910 under his sister name Elisabeth Ferster-Nitzsche.

    The most important concept I ever learned when studying Nietzsche is this. You see, when Socrates, Aristotle, Kant, and most religions built a two-dimensional philosophy, Nietzsche on the other hand created a three-dimensional philosophy or religion. Aristotle and the rest created a list of principles or ideas that could easily be put into a chart or a list of principles. When reading Nietzsche on the other hand, you have to imagine a pool of stars on the ground. From this pool of stars rises and forms a humanoid. This humanoid of stars continues to form until it can run a few steps and then shatters into the puddle of stars again. This happens over and over again for an eternity. You see Nietzsche creates these stars by creating inverted and alternate concepts than the ones we believe in. He reaffirms healthy ideas and then creates their opposites. These create the Rorschach test you personally peer into eventually.

    Great question. It isn't explicitly stated. It retakes the central teaching of the eternal recurrence with the image of the "great stone" - which is how Nietzsche first came upon his formulation of the eternal recurrence while walking and encountering a pyramidal shaped rock. The end states: "Thus spoke Zarathustra and left his cave, glowing and strong, like a morning sun emerging from behind dark mountains." Just as Zarathustra left his cave in the start, so does he in the beginning. According to the translation of R.J. Hollingdale, he states at the introduction of the book: "At the conclusion of this part [Part IV] Zarathustra receives the call to go out into the world again, and in the following part he accumulates a large following, to whom he preaches his now triumphant message. In the final part he dies, although Nietzsche could not decide in what manner..." Personally, I think it is open to interpretation. I interpret it as him "dying" just to experience the same life again. In chapter of The Convalescent, part 2. Nietzsche writes the following of the eternal recurrence: "But the complex of causes in which I am entangled will recur - it will create me again! I myself am part of these causes of the eternal recurrence. I shall return, with this sun, with this earth, with this eagle, with the serpent - not to a new life or a better life or a similar life: I shall return eternally to this identical and self-same life in the greatest things and in the smallest, to teach once more the eternal recurrence of all things. To speak once more the teaching of the great noontide of earth and man, to tell man of the Overman once more.”

  • @Eternalised

    @Eternalised

    3 жыл бұрын

    There may be different ways to interpret it but I used R.J. Holldingdale's interpretation,. Zarathustra represents the jester as an unexpected event, at the very start he begins his "down-going/self-destruction", descending to humanity. More than beginning man's downfall, he begins his own downfall to man. Which is one reason why the old hermit tells him to go not to men but to isolate himself and be with God. Zarathustra's task to teach people of the Ubermensch are futile. As Zarathustra says: "There they laugh: they do not understand me; I am not the mouth for these ears.” He finds out that he cannot teach his idea of the Ubermensch to the crowd 'Last Men' and so he leaves and gathers a small group of disciples 'Higher Men', to teach his idea of the Ubermensch.

    It's more like god dying metaphorically as in the decline of Christian values, principally due to the Enlightenment, this lack of structure gives way to existential nihilism. The void that came with this rupture is what he intends to block with "heavy weights": his main teachings.

    Zarathustra himself did not create any religion. It is all about psychological suffering when you do bad vs doing good. You suffer mentally after while doing evil things. That was all about his philosophy and nothing too complicated. I read Nietzsche's book when I was 17 although a Farsi translated book borrowed from one of oldest library in Tehran, Iran. It never gonna be the same as authors native language but Neitzsche's mindset and thoughts are hard to understand by just reading his book. Certainly he was an atheist like many other intellectual authors. Nevertheless, he is a worthy one of a kind philiosopher of modern west.

    Consider that Zoroastrianism is not an Abrahamic religion and it is actually dualistic religion. One supreme god of good and another god of evil. God of evil was not created by God of good in Zoroastrianism. Therefore, it is a challenge to Christianity, where the devil is created by God.
