Friedrich Nietzsche
(4,118 Sterne; 119 Bewertungen)
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844–1900) was a nineteenth-century German philosopher. He wrote critical texts on religion, morality, contemporary culture, philosophy and science, using a distinctive German language style and displaying a fondness for aphorism. Nietzsche's influence remains substantial within and beyond philosophy, notably in existentialism and postmodernism.
Thus Spake Zarathustra (Also sprach Zarathustra), is a work composed in four parts between 1883 and 1885. Much of the work deals with ideas such as the "eternal recurrence of the same", the parable on the "death of God", and the "prophecy" of the Overman, which were first introduced in The Gay Science. Described by Nietzsche himself as "the deepest ever written", the book is a dense and esoteric treatise on philosophy and morality, featuring as protagonist a fictionalized Zarathustra. A central irony of the text is that the style of the Bible is used by Nietzsche to present ideas of his which fundamentally oppose Judaeo-Christian morality and tradition.

This was the last book i needed to read to complete the Nietzsche collection and it didn't disappoint. i guess it's time to move on to a new Philosopher.

Thank thanks to all the volunteers who read this. This work is a treasure trove of wisdom and thanks to Librivox, long trips in the car have become a lot more engaging. Nietzsche is like a Western Confucius. Compare the ideas and symbols in this novel with those of Twilight of the Idols, Beyond Good and Evil, and the Will to Power and common threads starr becoming apparent.

Mixed quality of readers, some with background street noise, or poorly read, but generally acceptable. The importance of the work for Nietzsche studies and the quality of the work though make it indispensable.

amazing read on most parts, but certain voices and constantly changing accents sometimes threw me off completely. apart from that a magnificent prose!
A noble effort, but a few of the readers were hard to follow.
