Thus Spoke Zarathustra

55

Product description

Nietzsche summarized his philosophical ideas in his book: "Thus Spoke Zarathustra," which he described as "the vestibule of his philosophy." This book is considered a true milestone in German philosophy, and although more than a hundred years have passed since its authorship, its ideas still resonate widely; so much so that some regard it as one of the hundred greatest books in human history. The ideas in this book have influenced several human fields such as war, politics, and art; for example, some soldiers in World War I carried it in their bags, and some believe that his ideas about the "superior human" formed the foundation of Nazi ideology, which ignited World War II. Likewise, the impact of this book extended into artistic works, notably the composition by composer Richard Strauss, which bore the same name as the book, and the film "2001: A Space Odyssey" by Stanley Kubrick.
