"Thus Spake Zarathustra" (German: Also sprach Zarathustra) is one of Nietzsche's most famous and influential works, presenting the philosophical journey of the prophet Zarathustra as he seeks to teach humanity about the overman (Übermensch) and the eternal recurrence of all things. The book is an exploration of themes such as power, freedom, and the transformation of human values through Nietzsche mythologized and abstracted ideal man. This philosophical novel is clearly in mimicry of Voltaire's Zadig, and follows the historical figure Zarathustra as he travels and teaches a new philosophy designed to save humanity from the impending Nihilism after the death of god. This trans-humanist perspective argues that humanness (including all morality) is a disease that must be abandoned.
Written between 1883 and 1885, this work is a foundational text in Nietzsche's philosophical corpus. Presented as a philosophical novel, it follows the protagonist Zarathustra, who descends from his mountain solitude to share his profound insights with humanity. The book is structured into four parts, filled with parables and discourses that articulate Nietzsche's key philosophical ideas, such as the Übermensch (Overman), the eternal recurrence, and the death of God. Through Zarathustra's teachings, Nietzsche explores the need for individuals to transcend conventional morality and create their own values in the pursuit of a more meaningful and authentic existence.
First published in 1883 by E. W. Fritzsch in Leipzig, Germany, this new 2024 translation of the original 1883 German manuscript includes a new afterword by the translator, a timeline of Nietzsche's life and work, an index with descriptions of his key concepts, and summaries of his complete works. This translation is designed to allow the armchair philosopher to engage deeply with Nietzsche's works without having to be a full-time Academic. The language is modern and clean, with simplified sentence structures and diction to make Nietzsche's complex language and arguments as accessible as possible.
This Reader's Edition also contains extra material that amplifies the manuscript with autobiographical, historical and linguistic context. This provides the reader a holistic view of this very enigmatic philosopher as both an introduction and an exploration of Nietzsche's works; from his general understanding of his philosophic project to an exploration of the depths of his metaphysics and unique contributions. This edition contains:
• An Afterword by the Translator on the history, impact and intellectual legacy of Nietzsche
• Translation notes on the original German, Latin and Greek manuscript
• An index of Philosophical concepts used by Nietzsche with a focus on Existentialism and Phenomenology
• A chronological list of Nietzsche's entire body of works
• A detailed timeline of Nietzsche's life and works
