Product Details

Get the influential philosophical work Thus Spake Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzsche at Ubuy South Africa. Explore Nietzsche's views on the Übermensch and modern civilization in this thought-provoking masterpiece.
  • 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 Übermensch, or superman. Although later perverted by Nazi propagandists, the Übermensch 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 Übermensch 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.

Product Description

About This Item

Experience the brilliance of Friedrich Nietzsche's Thus Spake Zarathustra with the Dover Thrift Editions Paperback. Considered a profound and influential philosophical work of the late nineteenth century, this literary masterpiece delves into Nietzsche's thought-provoking views on human existence and the pursuit of greatness. Written in a passionate, quasi-biblical style, Thus Spake Zarathustra introduces the concept of the Übermensch, or superman, which later became distorted by Nazi propagandists. Nietzsche, however, envisioned the Übermensch as the ultimate goal of human existence, representing the achievement of greatness in will and being.

Rejecting the idea of waiting for perfection in the next world, Nietzsche believed that individuals should strive to perfect themselves during their earthly existence and transcend the limitations imposed by conventional morality. In this thought-provoking book, Zarathustra, an ancient Persian religious leader, serves as the voice for Nietzsche's ideas. He stands in stark contrast to the last man, an uncreative conformist and complacent hedonist who represents Nietzsche's critique of modern civilization, morality, and the Christian religion. As a forerunner of modern existentialist thought, Thus Spake Zarathustra continues to provoke and stimulate students of philosophy and literature more than a century after its publication. Now, with the Dover Thrift Editions Paperback, you can own a copy of this iconic work for yourself. Immerse yourself in Nietzsche's daring exploration of existential questions and delve into the profound concepts that have captivated readers for generations.
