In this article, Stephen T. Asma claims that play is valuable to humans. The first reason he gave is that play is vital for humanity. Asma further supported this by using Nietzsche’s three-step development in his book Thus Spoke Zarathustra. The development describes the process of spiritual transformation symbolically represented by the camel, lion and child. The focus is on the transformation from carrying obligations as a camel, to rebellion for its freedom as a lion to finally evolving into…
was a number of spokes on the wheel. In early drawings, the wheel only had four spokes but there was a big problem with that. All the weight was placed on a pole, but as the wheel turned the weight was placed in the area without a spoke which causes an up and down motion that the human body can not tolerate. So to fix that problem they added four more spokes, but another problem emerged with that change. The next problem was due to accelerations, because of the addition of more spokes the…
First of all, I would like to talk about briefly the character Zarathustra for Nietzsche by referring his influential work Thus Spoke Zarathustra. The book mainly includes the made-up journey and the philosophical speeches of Zarathustra. The journey starts when Zarathustra was in the age thirty, he left his home and went into the mountains.

God’s death was not an actual death but rather an emasculating that made him a symbol of slave ideals. Nietzsche thought the supremacy of slave morality was holding many people back from reaching…
seemingly values a virtue by its originality; not its actual merit. This is to be expected, as this book is contrasting to the merely content 'Ultimate Man', of whom shares virtues with other people, such as compassion - one of the virtues that Zarathustra despised, as it took the focus away from the individual and the distant man (by which in notes of the Oxford Edition was meant to mean the man of the distant future: the Superman). An interesting concept he illustrated was his disapproval of…
These concepts are explored in “The Story of Tom Brennan” by J. C. Burke, and Friedrich Nietzsche’s “Thus Spoke Zarathustra”. The characters, Tom and Zarathustra,…
