Thus Spoke Zarathustra (Selections)/Also Sprach Zarathustra (Auswahl)
Thus Spoke Zarathustra (Selections)/Also Sprach Zarathustra (Auswahl) | Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
The most popular of Friedrich Nietzsche's works, Thus Spoke Zarathustra ranks among the most remarkable feats of German literature. A symphony of language, it abounds in every kind of wordplay and an intricate network of leitmotifs. This dual-language edition features one third of Nietzsche's work, keeping the most famous concepts intact and encompassing a variety of moods and modes as well as the author's full linguistic scope.These selections reflect the most important philosophic concepts in the book, such as the -death of God- (i.e., the bankruptcy of the traditional Christian morality), with the subsequent need for a new morality administered by a more evolved humanity (the Ubermensch), and the -will to power.- Editor Stanley Appelbaum presents accurate English translations on the pages facing the original German, an informative introduction to the author's life and oeuvre, plus notes throughout the text and brief summaries of the omitted chapters.Nietzsche's influence on twentieth-century thought is incalculable. Freud is reputed to have developed his theory of the ego from some passages in Zarathustra. The Surrealists and Existentialists admired Nietzsche, and his skepticism made him a model for Postmodernist thinkers. This volume represents an outstanding resource not only for students and teachers of German language and literature but also for anyone with an interest in literature, philosophy, and psychology.

Picture description: A drawing of philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche pushing an old-fashioned looking vacuum cleaner across the floor, one hand rather nonchalantly in his pocket. In a speech bubble, he is thinking, "God I hate this thing". Below the drawing is the handwritten text, "Nietzsche abhors a vacuum".

Once people believed in prophets and astrologers: and therefore people believed: 'Everything is fate: you shall, for you must!'
Then again people mistrusted prophets and astrologers: therefore people believed: 'Everything is freedom : you can, for you will'

We‘ve been reading Nietzsche and that‘s the Cecil Summary. But does using the phrase “basic bitch” make us basic at this point? Or did we not get the gist of this book? #catsoflitsy #philosophy

Cecil is practicing his wise, old philosopher look as we listen to Zarathustra.

My husband read this book aloud to me. I'm not sure if this is the reason I loved the book so much or if I actually loved it. I love when that man reads to me. 😍 #husbandsoflitsy #whentwobookloversgetmarried

Aleida I love being read to, too. 7y
