Thus Spake Zarathustra

In Thus Spake Zarathustra, one of the greatest works of western philosophy, Nietzsche proclaims that 'God is dead'. Examining issues of morality, power, death and self-mastery, this work is a passionate and poetic affirmation of life and freedom.

Descending from a life of solitude on the mountain, the ancient Persian prophet Zarathustra announces that God has been supplanted by the Superman, the divine in human form. In Thus Spake Zarathustra, Friedrich Nietzsche lays out new standards of morality, in a work often misrepresented and hijacked by Nazi intellectuals.

Could it be possible? This old saint in the forest hath not yet heard of it, that God is dead!

The ancient Persian prophet Zarathustra descends from a life of solitude on the mountain to announce to the world that God has been supplanted by the "Superman", the divine in human form. In one of the most radical and influential works of modern philosophy, Friedrich Nietzsche lays out the new standards of morality after the "death of God".

Frequently misrepresented (and hijacked to dangerous purpose by Nazi intellectuals), Thus Spake Zarathustra is a work of profound brilliance and poetic mastery which still provides meaning in today's complex and changing world.
