Written in 1888 just before the final years of insanity that would plague Friedrich Nietzsche until his death in 1900, «Ecce Homo» is an insightful reflection by the author upon his own life and his impact on the world of philosophy. In «Ecce Homo» Nietzsche offers his personal perspective on his various philosophical works including: «The Birth of Tragedy», «Thoughts out of Season», «Human, All-Too-Human», «The Dawn of Day», «The Gay Science», «Thus Spoke Zarathustra», «Beyond Good and Evil», «The Genealogy of Morals», «The Twilight of the Idols», and «The Case of Wagner». In this revealing little work we gain great insight into what Nietzsche was as he saw himself and a final reiteration of his core philosophy, a rejection of the Christian ideal that asserts suffering as a noble necessity of life and of Christianity as the bastion of supreme morality.
Thus Spoke Zarathustra (Translated by Thomas Common with Introductions by Willard Huntington Wright and Elizabeth Forster-Nietzsche and Notes by Anthony M. Ludovici) - Friedrich Nietzsche
Аннотация
German philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche was one the most controversial figures of the 19th-century. His evocative writings on religion, morality, culture, philosophy, and science were often polemic attacks against the established views of his time. First published between 1883 and 1891, “Thus Spoke Zarathustra” is a philosophical novel which details the fictional travels and teachings of Zarathustra, known also as Zoroaster, the Persian prophet and founder of Zoroastrianism. Nietzsche’s portrayal of Zarathustra is not strictly historical but rather an unconventional one which turns traditional morality on its head. Utilizing a unique and experimental style, the work presents in narrative form the beginnings of Nietzsche’s moral philosophy that he would address more explicitly in “Beyond Good and Evil” and “On the Genealogy of Morals.” The work also addresses many of Nietzsche’s other philosophical concepts including that of the Übermensch, or a self-mastered being who has achieved his ultimate potential; the eternal recurrence, the idea that the universe has some self-repeating quality; and the will to power, or the concept that ambition is the primary driving force in humans. As thought-provoking as ever, “Thus Spoke Zarathustra” remains as one of the most unique philosophical works ever written. This edition is translated by Thomas Common, includes introductions by Willard Huntington Wright and Elizabeth Forster-Nietzsche, and notes by Anthony M. Ludovici.
Аннотация
Thus Spoke Zarathustra: A Book for All and None (German: Also sprach Zarathustra: Ein Buch für Alle und Keinen, also translated as Thus Spake Zarathustra) is a philosophical novel by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, composed in four parts between 1883 and 1885 and published between 1883 and 1891. Much of the work deals with ideas such as the “eternal recurrence of the same”, the parable on the “death of God”, and the “prophecy” of the Übermensch, which were first introduced in The Gay Science. The book chronicles the fictitious travels and speeches of Zarathustra. Zarathustra's namesake was the founder of Zoroastrianism, usually known in English as Zoroaster (Avestan: Zaraϑuštra). Nietzsche is clearly portraying a “new” or “different” Zarathustra, one who turns traditional morality on its head. Zarathustra has a simple characterization and plot, narrated sporadically throughout the text. It possesses a unique experimental style, one that is, for instance, evident in newly invented “dithyrambs” narrated or sung by Zarathustra. Likewise, the separate Dithyrambs of Dionysus was written in autumn 1888, and printed with the full volume in 1892, as the corollaries of Zarathustra's “abundance”. Some speculate that Nietzsche intended to write about final acts of creation and destruction brought about by Zarathustra. However, the book lacks a finale to match that description; its actual ending focuses more on Zarathustra recognizing that his legacy is beginning to perpetuate, and consequently choosing to leave the higher men to their own devices in carrying his legacy forth.
