Zarathustra then decides to gather a small group of disciples and share his wisdom with them. But the crowd doesnât understand him his discourse is met only with rude ignorance. He tells them of the Overman: the next step in human evolution, a being who creates their own values, freed from the weight of tradition and morality, and who takes responsibility for their own successes and failures. He reaches the nearest town and addresses the crowd on the marketplace. Yet some scholars dislike it because of its unphilosophical nature: it eschews jargon and the scaffolding of arguments, which engage only the intellect, in favor of an artistic approach that engages the whole mind.Īfter ten years of solitude in a cave high in the mountains, Zarathustra wishes to share with humanity the wisdom he has accumulated during this time. Thus Spake Zarathustra was Friedrich Nietzscheâs favorite of the books he wrote, and has been his most popular amongst general readers. Will you support our efforts with a donation?
