Thus Spoke Zarathustra | Friedrich Nietzsche

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 มิ.ย. 2024
- Thus Spoke Zarathustra: A Book For All and None was Nietzsche’s favourite of his creations. It is indeed one of the most fascinating and creative pieces of work in western philosophy.
It presents the journey of Persian prophet Zarathustra, who spends his time in solitude in the mountains for ten years and grows weary of his wisdom, beginning his down-going to humanity to teach them what he has learned.
Zarathustra's principal teachings are: the Übermensch (Overman), the Eternal Recurrence and the Will to Power.

That is affirming to hear this is also your favorite book. A great endowment moving forwards into watching further videos. Many thanks
If this remains your favorite, you are to lose your name within a hundred of years.
But written in ancient dimentia describing best way to describe it the literal apocalypse in ancient dimentia that already happened the overman becam the overall when God died in the apocalypse the entire climate was different humanity fel into being in subdivisions he meant it when he said God is dead thanks for asking
This man is genius. I couldn’t imagine the stamina of inspiration it takes one to write such a beauty in 10 days... Can’t wait to take philosophy in university.
Perhaps he was possessed by a god (Dionysus) and we received the teachings of a god (not to undermine his work though). Philosophy in university sounds exciting!
Das daemon was in him
Filology?
I now have an immense desire to seclude myself for 10 years 😂
University is the worst place for philosophy.
“The Child he wants to have for eternity is himself” - This is really profound.
Nietzsche did not write Zarathustra in ten days. It took him ten days for each of the first three parts, and around a year for the fourth part. This is documented and he himself said it in Ecce Homo
at least.
Thanks for this. I've always suspected that "God is Dead" is one of the most misunderstood dictums in philosophy.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
What misunderstandings did you hear about?
@@seggyvlased 🤔 Well, I once saw a twit by a young woman that said: “I know my boyfriend has been cheating on me, and now I just found out that I’m pregnant. How can I be sure that the baby is mine??!” So there’s that. 🤷🏽♂️
@@WitchyWagonReal how does that relate to "God is dead"?
God is dead;
He dies of his pity for mankind.
Even god has his hell;
It is his love for mankind.
"humanity is becoming tamed & domesticated"
That is the only thing I took out of that book & it is evident each day as I observe it among all societies. Bunch of little men, truly the little men live the longest. His book was prophetic.
Beta week “men” run the streets these days. they won’t even buy diapers or milk for the children they father ! Too busy on instagram showing and fronting their clothing!
How. He wrote this in 10 days
He was way ahead of the curve, an absolute genius :)
many of the ideas were probably building inside his head for years... he just had to put those ideas into written form.
Only the first part, about 80 pages
Also writing like more than 10 hours a day
His physical and mental health were declining due to syphilis and was addicted to opioids and chloral hydrate, a hypnotic. He was actually descending into madness when he wrote a lot of his manuscripts.
Wow! I'm gonna buy this. You have given us a wonderful summary of the book, I am eternally grateful for your work. And Friedrich Nietzsche, what a marvelous work you have provided for the new age of humanity in 10 days! Truly man has to learn more about himself who he truly is else he will always search gods to validate his existence. Be blessed!
Love the art in the background in addition to your words.
This channel deserves way more views. Keep up the great videos.
Absolutely beautiful video. What a great, tight introduction to this book. Blessings to you, thank you for sharing!
Excellent work! Great image choices! Thanks ☺️
Glad to have found this channel, subscribed! Thank you
For those seeking knowledge always this is excellent. Thank you.
Nice! Such a treat for the New Year! Thanks!
Very nice description of all the key points, thank you for posting this, your review definitely does justice to TSZ.
Thanks a lot Scott! Appreciate it.
Great Video! This video really helped me since it was so hard to read zarathustra, but this video made it simple and easy to understand, great job friend, and happy new year!
Thanks a lot Dacademeca! Glad it could help you with your understanding of the book, happy new year :)
This presentation of the book is really amazing, straight to the point and very enlightening. It is a real help to have a better understanding since the reading of the book itself might be a bit complicated...
Thus Spoke Zarathustra is definitely an outstanding work, thank you for sharing this with us!
Thank you very much! Glad you liked it :)
it really helped me understand the book better, thank you!
Loved this so much! Idk if I get the point but I was fascinated by the idea of the "overman"
I'm an avid reader of Nietzsche, an incredible influence on our life today. Thanks for the indepth look into one of his greatest works and your grasp of it was aces.👍
Excellently covered for the limited format. This is why I love philosophy, a pragmatic way to use the concepts in our everyday life.
Thank you Jay!
haha as much as i agree if u use to live this way even 70% of the time and be Yes man in everyday life
you wont be properly understood many times why u do the things this way and why u seem so unbothered from
some of the results and bad things that happen and people find this careless or egoistic
Who could dislike a a video like this, it's an amazing summary of one of the best philosophy books out there, that touches the main ideas of the book, and most importantly it makes you wanna read it. Keep up the good work fellow human being
Thanks a lot Rus for the support! :)
nietzsche is so inspiring, empowering, it literally creates ambition in one's mind or heart. but who? WHO inspired nietzsche?
EVery poor devil gets some pleasures from scolding because it gives him a little intoxication of power.
I think the dislikes are people who disagree with his philosophy, not the presentation.
No, i disliked for the background piano music being too loud.
Great summary of the book👍. You have made me to read it in full. Tomorrow I'm going to my library.
Bravo! Well done excellent summary!
This book changed my life and helped me grow so much!
Its always strange when i hear this story, as it seems to speak greatly to the journey ive had.
The camel, the lion, and the child. Baring the weight, challenging the established systems of value, then striving to create my own, founded on reason.
It's as if nietzsche - through this story - in part summarized the journey to coming to ones own terms with reality - to overcoming culture and becoming ones own being.
It's earie that its a path i tread before i knew of nietzsche's name.
But its great that such a story like this exists - one that lays our the reality of our being so well - that we mush overcome ourselves to become what we have potential to be.
It is incredibly profound and fascinating how applicable it is today, perhaps more than ever. Thanks for watching friend!

Profound way to start the new year. Excellence is a craft to be honed. It is evident you have put time and great effort into this work. Your skill is a light to illuminate a dark work.
Thanks a lot Big Lew! These words mean a lot.
Das purpose of existence is to kindle a light in das darkness of mere interbeing human.
Great explanation! I read the book first time during my uni years and was... intellectually stuck at comprehending the underlying messages. Your explanation reminded me that I should find time and get back to it after all these years! Keep up the good work!
That's cool. Thanks a lot! It's a great book to revisit :)
Arthur Schopenhauer first law of reading:
Read each great book at least twice.
10 minutes of absurdity 5 minutes of chills.
This was dope. Loved the imagery. I plan on doing some Nietzsche videos myself.
That's awesome. Looking forward to it.
Teaching is even more difficult than learning because what teaching calls for is this:
Encouragement+inspiration because genuine interest cannot be forced.
Not forcing is Wu wei.
Keep up the great work!
Thanks Suraj!
Wonderful breakdown!
Thanks so much Samori!
Awesome. Nice imagery also
Thank you
Thank you for making this; I have been told about passages from Thus Spoke Zarathustra and other works from Nietzsche, and I doubt that even if I read the book itself, I don't think I would understand it as well as you explain it.
You're welcome Daniel. It's a beautifully written book. Truly, one of my favourites. There are many passages that I simply don't grasp so I just go with the flow as well. Very worth revisiting ever so often!
@@Eternalised You wouldn't believe it, I was responding to a comment on another channel, (Re: Buddhism & Eastern wisdom) I opened another tab to copy & paste the URL to this video & the recommendation to the Nietzsche & Buddhism video was top & centre in the recommendations. Jungian synchronicity?!
@@danielstone9404 That's some eerie synchronicity hahah :P
thanks man
This video is a great way to kick off the new year! I've always seen the child (in the metamorphoses) as being similar to the tarot card of the fool. Open to anything, ready to take on the world in an embracing fashion.
Absolutely. Great way of seeing it!!
Yes. Play Persona 4 and 5. You will see this embodies the fool.
Excellent summary on the very interesting Classical book thank you so much for sharing, I wish you a Happy New Year as well and looking forward for more philosophy.
Happy new year! Looking forward to your videos as well.
@@Eternalised Nice to hear that I wish you a pleasant weekend.
Nietzsche wrote this in 10 day, and here i am handing in a 1500 word essay in one week late
Brilliant indeed
That's awesome man! love it. Btw, just some questions - From where did u get all those images and what software editor are u using? Are there any copy right issue?
Thank you! i use sony vegas, although any multiple timeline editor will do. I normally use paintings/images all from google/wikipedia. There's no issues with copyright as it's fair use.
Thank you, great summary.. Will look for a 30 minute detailed summary of version 2.0 from you it would give more depth about the book and cover more concepts...
Yeah, I thought about making longer ones, but my intention is to motivate people to pick up the book and read it, it is so rich in content that it is impossible to give enough depth to :)
FN, One of the great philosophers, misunderstood by All, and understood by None, great video :)
So true. Writings for a minority!
Haunting
Thank You, It is Fine
Great vid mate. After watching the vid, It’s surely gonna be one of the books I am looking forward to reading this year.
Also Happy New Year!
Thanks InfinitiSin! A great book for 2021. Happy new year, just saw you posted some videos, going to check them out soon :)
I think Nietzsche's problem is a reevaluation of all values is something that can only be accomplished using values. The values are up for trial, one of them cannot also be the judge, else the case was prejudged from the beginning, because each value argues for it's own supremacy.
“The morality of free society can have no application to slave society. . . .Make a man a slave, and you rob him of of moral responsibility. Freedom of choice is the essence of all accountability.”
― Frederick Douglass, My Bondage and My Freedom
“All higher culture is based off cruelty and slavery” - Beyond Good and Evil
“Men talk much of a new birth. The fact is fundamental. But the mistake is in treating it as an incident which can only happen to a man once in a lifetime: whereas the whole journey of life is a succession of them. A new life springs up in the soul with the discovery of every new agency by which the soul is raised to a higher level of wisdom: goodness and joy.”
― Frederick Douglass
I believe Douglass is the most underrated great man in American history, every bit as significant as MLK IMO. I was fortunate to see an exhibit on him at my local library some years ago. I was amazed at how similar his phraseology and perspective were to that of Lincoln. And obviously, in my mind at least, his came first.
Great video. Beautiful share. Like👍 78. Greetings from India.🌺🌺☘️☘️🇮🇳
Thanks a lot Anjan! :)
Actually it took him ten days to write each of the three parts of Zarathustra, the fourth part took him almost a year to complete because of headaches and health problems. He himself said this in his intellectual autobiography Ecce Homo.
I think each part was written itself in 10 days not the whole book. His sister spoke of this in the introduction of some versions I possess. She states that he wrote the first part in the winter of 1882-1883 near Genoa, the second part bewteen the 26 of Juny and 6 of July in the same year in Sils Maria (Switzerland), the third part in the winter of 1883-1884 in Nice and the fourth part, with lots of breaks and revisions, he started in September of 1984 in Zurich and finished in February of 1985 in Nice. The versions i possess are in greek so I don't know from which international versions they have been translated but they state that the introductory part was taken from the Nietzsche archive in Weimar, July 1910 under his sister name Elisabeth Ferster-Nitzsche.
9:35 "It is a book that has so much wisdom and life advice that it should be regarded as a life book."
Very well said, my friend!
I have read Thus Spoke Zarathustra (not everything; it's so difficult to read because of all the metaphors and obscure imagery), and I can truly say it is, in many ways, PROPHETIC!
If I were permitted give a simplified layman's subtitle for Nietzsche's masterpiece, it would be "An Atheist's Bible for Becoming an Overman"
Thank you for this video bro!!
That's a great way of putting it. Thanks for watching and for the insights!

Great advise :)

Wrote it in 10 days , taking powerful speed .

The most important concept I ever learned when studying Nietzsche is this. You see, when Socrates, Aristotle, Kant, and most religions built a two-dimensional philosophy, Nietzsche on the other hand created a three-dimensional philosophy or religion. Aristotle and the rest created a list of principles or ideas that could easily be put into a chart or a list of principles. When reading Nietzsche on the other hand, you have to imagine a pool of stars on the ground. From this pool of stars rises and forms a humanoid. This humanoid of stars continues to form until it can run a few steps and then shatters into the puddle of stars again. This happens over and over again for an eternity. You see Nietzsche creates these stars by creating inverted and alternate concepts than the ones we believe in. He reaffirms healthy ideas and then creates their opposites. These create the Rorschach test you personally peer into eventually.
Don’t forget the music!
If he could only see us now.
Living in our time, we can really see how Nietzsches philosophy has effected the western thinking.
Thank you for your insights
Have noticed too that, in a way, he enbodied his camel lion child discourse in his own journey?
I've got to admit that I used to hate Nietzsche very much for strictly criticizing many traditional values, including my Christian Faith. But now I feel much more open to him because of his heroic philosophy and passions. It helps me very much in revaluing my faith.
We have reached the "last man."
Reading Nietzsche amounts to an exercise in self-disgust for me; and I think the majority of people would be drowning in it too if they had a little bit more awareness.
As a Zoroastrian I truly enjoyed this video and book!
With this book
I open my campaign against Zoroastrian
@@satnamo zoroastrianism is already at the stage of extinction why are you campaigning against it
Nietszche wrote this book right after 2 of his closest “friends”, Lou Salome and Dr. Paul Ree, ditched him and took off themselves. N. was in love with Lou and proposed to her and was rejected. As usually is with many artist, it is this heartache and insult that was the inspiration - poets cries sounds like music to our ears...
You great star!
What would your happiness be

for whom you shine ?
Without an eye,
there is nothing for the Sun to shine on.
Therefore,
the light of the Sun is my light.
The light of intellect is colored by passion and interest.
Personality is the element of the greatest happiness.
"Ihr kennt nur des Geistes Funken: aber ihr seht den Amboß nicht, der er ist, und nicht die Grausamkeit seines Hammers!"
I have the book in my hand. Where does it say he dies at the end?
Great question. It isn't explicitly stated. It retakes the central teaching of the eternal recurrence with the image of the "great stone" - which is how Nietzsche first came upon his formulation of the eternal recurrence while walking and encountering a pyramidal shaped rock.
The end states: "Thus spoke Zarathustra and left his cave, glowing and strong, like a morning sun emerging from behind dark mountains."
Just as Zarathustra left his cave in the start, so does he in the beginning. According to the translation of R.J. Hollingdale, he states at the introduction of the book:
"At the conclusion of this part [Part IV] Zarathustra receives the call to go out into the world again, and in the following part he accumulates a large following, to whom he preaches his now triumphant message. In the final part he dies, although Nietzsche could not decide in what manner..."
Personally, I think it is open to interpretation. I interpret it as him "dying" just to experience the same life again. In chapter of The Convalescent, part 2. Nietzsche writes the following of the eternal recurrence:
"But the complex of causes in which I am entangled will recur - it will create me again! I myself am part of these causes of the eternal recurrence. I shall return, with this sun, with this earth, with this eagle, with the serpent - not to a new life or a better life or a similar life: I shall return eternally to this identical and self-same life in the greatest things and in the smallest, to teach once more the eternal recurrence of all things. To speak once more the teaching of the great noontide of earth and man, to tell man of the Overman once more.”
@@Eternalised the death of the ego is the awaken of the soul.
Without death
There is no life
Because without life
There is no death.
Therefore, death is das source of life.
Was that life?
I want to say to death.
Well then.
Once more, my friend!

Entire westerm world today is not possible without the teachings of the original Zarathustra. Judaism, Christianity and Islam are born out of his religion .
Ya bcoz zoroastrianism is the oldest monotheistic religion
10 days?? How did he do that? 😳
💚💚💚💚💚
" Eternalized "
Zarathustra was deeper. Power is necessary as a means but insufficient or even weak as an end.
"What is small in man" scratching head which context??
Thanks Zardasht was Kurdish prophet and religious before current religious
Also, check out an essay I wrote specifically in Nietzsche's Untergang.
strangecornersofthought.com/nonfiction/philosophy/nietzsches-down-going/
Cool. Will check it out!
👍
Pretty sad full.of dead ends. Good thing Truth is truth.. even in faith.
Was Zarathustra really dead? In my opinion, we have the lion scene which roars at the higher men and then we see Zarathustra getting a sense of courage to begin a new day.
I think its open to interpretation. I used R.J. Hollingdale's translation, the image of Zarathustra leaving his cave just as the beginning, hints at the eternal recurrence of the same as well.
What shall I be after I die ?
Nothing and everything because everything is in everything.
3:01 You say that the jester symbolises zarathustra, so is your interpretation that nietzsche percieved zarathustra as the one responsible for starting man's downfall on the road to becoming ubermen?
There may be different ways to interpret it but I used R.J. Holldingdale's interpretation,. Zarathustra represents the jester as an unexpected event, at the very start he begins his "down-going/self-destruction", descending to humanity. More than beginning man's downfall, he begins his own downfall to man. Which is one reason why the old hermit tells him to go not to men but to isolate himself and be with God.
Zarathustra's task to teach people of the Ubermensch are futile. As Zarathustra says: "There they laugh: they do not understand me; I am not the mouth for these ears.” He finds out that he cannot teach his idea of the Ubermensch to the crowd 'Last Men' and so he leaves and gathers a small group of disciples 'Higher Men', to teach his idea of the Ubermensch.
@@Eternalised Thank you!
Nietzche is the Zarathustra of the modern times. A philosopher stipulating the moral values relevant to the modern scientific era. He paves the way for the advent of the much anticipated overman.
Wait does this guy do creepy pastas narrations
How possible would it be that he just means that god is the idea we have of the state of being dead instead that the godlike thing has actually died. ?
It's more like god dying metaphorically as in the decline of Christian values, principally due to the Enlightenment, this lack of structure gives way to existential nihilism. The void that came with this rupture is what he intends to block with "heavy weights": his main teachings.
Simon obstdfelder? Var det noen viktig autoritær skikkelse for flere personer
Nietzsche understood the Christ's Kingdom of Heaven parable.
Zarathustra himself did not create any religion. It is all about psychological suffering when you do bad vs doing good. You suffer mentally after while doing evil things. That was all about his philosophy and nothing too complicated. I read Nietzsche's book when I was 17 although a Farsi translated book borrowed from one of oldest library in Tehran, Iran. It never gonna be the same as authors native language but Neitzsche's mindset and thoughts are hard to understand by just reading his book. Certainly he was an atheist like many other intellectual authors. Nevertheless, he is a worthy one of a kind philiosopher of modern west.
Zarathustra, iran,persia.aryan ♡
You do realize that he was mocking the real Zarathustra lmao
What was Nietzsche smoking when he wrote this?
Life, man. He was smoking life
Is this Isaac Arthur?
Are u spanish?
For us this means: Everything that is not socialism
Consider that Zoroastrianism is not an Abrahamic religion and it is actually dualistic religion. One supreme god of good and another god of evil. God of evil was not created by God of good in Zoroastrianism. Therefore, it is a challenge to Christianity, where the devil is created by God.
He DID NOT wrote the book in 10 days in sporadic bursts of inspiration.
So this video is about the book "Thus spook Zarathustra"?
Zarathustra does not die at the end. In fact several pieces of your summary doesn't match the book at all, esp part 4 (it is not a large following who sing and dance with him in the cave, but a motley of weirdos he met in the woods and invited back). Either A you didn't read this or B there are gross differences between copies of the book. In fact Zarathustra feels ready to start life fresh like a rising star now that he has become the Lion and lost his pity for the higher men (his final sin)
He did continue to preach In Mazda
