Thus Spoke Zarathustra

when they were questioned. Zarathustra went to the Wanderer and Shadow telling them that they cannot be free if they are idolizing the Ass. He questions the Wanderer and Shadow in how they express how much they are free. However, the Wanderer and Shadow stood by the Ugliest Man (the one who killed God) saying that he brought God back. The next one to be on the questioning block is the clever magician. Zarathustra believes that the magician was cleverer than to fall into the trap of praising a false idol. The clever magician knew that he was cleverer than to fall for the trap and said it was hard for him to do, and then he went on to praise the Ass. To all of those who are…

different image with the same music, would it be as believable as the original sources of inspiration? Is it possible for the listeners to be deceived? It seems to be possible and it has been done, however, a very important condition for this to work is for the new story to try to convey similar mood emotions as the original one. Some examples are in films using classical programme music as part of its soundtrack. The same piece of program music might have a different meaning for different…

Nietzsche specifically speaks about the possibility of meaning of life and bearing the burden of life in the condition of "that which must come". This is the eternal return of the same. Zoroastra defines the condition of bearing of life as the underestanding of the eternal recurrent situation. What does he see in future that helps him bear the life? He responds that "And all my creating and striving amounts to this, that I create and piece together into one, what is now fragment and riddle and…

their bullies. If the bullies deviated away from that “code” then there was some sort of punishment that was to follow. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn’t. He viewed Christianity as a tactic (that was accomplished deliberately or unintentionally) to increase the control of the weak by making people humbled by the power and the glory that is God. Nietzsche set forth to distribute people’s cultures. There was a certain notion that Nietzsche held closely; and that was he wanted humans…

crucial. He thinks it’s a good idea to focus on the arbitrary nature of things; for example, one can view plays and books out of order and have “enjoyment quite different from what the author so kindly intended (61). For someone that fantasizes about the greats coming to Denmark, his actual appreciation of their arts would be superficial. Overall A’s aesthetic philosophy is predicated around his non-committal approach and methods to avoid boredom. Judge William, the second pseudonymous…

Marcus Aurelius once said: “If you are pained by external things, it is not they that disturb you, but your own judgment of them. And it is in your power to wipe out that judgment now.” There are many dragons in every person’s life, they might not realize or notice it but when they do they try there best to defeat it. Not every person is capable of defeating his or her dragon; it takes strength, courage, and bravery. There are many dragons I would like to defeat. Some of them I know I could…

the development of the nation. Friedrich Nietzsche was the creator and major proponent of the idea of Übermensch and greatly expounds upon the idea in his work Thus Spake Zarathustra. A massively simplified version of this concept essentially deals with the ability of society to overcome its faults and become truly enlightened to the world around them. A major key to achieving this concept is the complete annihilation of the sort of ostentatious discrimination associated with racism and other…

the faithful to embrace the impossible. This relationship can only be truly understood from a subjective point of view. Both the knight of faith and infinite resignation can be evaluated through the ideals that Friedrich Nietzsche lays out in The Gay Science. Despite being the man who famously wrote “god is dead”, it is the knight of faith, not the knight of infinite resignation, that gets the closest to being compatible with the actions that Nietzsche endorses. An examination of both…

In the 1882 collection The Gay Science German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche first stated the idea “God is dead!” a point which he later referred back to throughout his body of work. The death of God has become a widely quoted statement and as such has met various interpretations and misinterpretations leading to a wide general debate as to whether Nietzsche was actually correct in proclaiming the death of God. In answering this question, it becomes of fundamental importance that there must be…
