I’ve been waiting for a full in-depth analysis of thus spoke Zarathustra from TH-cam channels like weltgiest but tbf it’s a pretty tough challenge most of the ones that are on yt currently haven’t done it justice
I’ll give it an attempt when I get to Nietzsche in this series. I’m really looking forward to trying to make that video actually. I’ll try and point out the Greek influences and whatnot. There will never be a perfect analysis of TSZ. It is like trying to give a complete analysis of the Bible, but hopefully I do an ok job. I will do it in the old book review format. It may turn into more of a brief lecture series.
The beauty of Zarathustra’s poetic style is that you can view the Gathas as a literal piece or purely metaphorical. Zoroastrianism is the name western civilization gave the religion but to Zarathustra and those who followed the religion they call themselves Mazdayasna or in English, worshippers of wisdom. So before the Greeks created the word “philosophy” (love of wisdom) Zarathustra spoke of worship of wisdom. Ahura Mazda translates to Lord of Wisdom. Seeking Asha just means seeking ultimate truth. The list goes on throughout the Gathas but you can be an atheist or an agnostic and still worship wisdom and seek ultimate truth like Zarathustra urges all throughout his Gathas
Who else is here because of The Sacred And The Profane (Eliade)? Haha jk, great video. Thank you. What are the names of the original, canon works of Zarathustra?
@@brianpatterson3426 Yep, and eventually Yahweh become increasingly interchangeable of with El, the supreme god of the Canaanite religion. Yahwism probably became judaism after the Persians liberated the jews.
I am a wanderer and a mountain climber; thus spoke Zarathustra to his heart ❤
What is the meaning of what you have written?

As sad as it is, it is also true.
Excellent Video
Great video helped with project a ton
Richard Strauss made a famous tone poem in 1896 based on Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra.
What a hidden gem of a channel, keep up the good work friend 👍
That was just brilliant!
Thanks 👍
Thank you for the very informative content. Indeed truthfulness is what the world needs most today.
Great video as always

Would be cool if when you are satisfied with your exploration of western philosophy you could talk more broadly about Eastern Philosophy
Absolutely
@@ThusSpokeHaven nice
I have a copy of the Gathas, which I love to read.
Great video dude, I am subbing
this was great
considering his gift of the gab. i'd love to know his thoughts on the modern world. in particular, Facebook and twitter.
It sucks
How does this have 520 views instead of 520 thousand.
Thankyiuuuu
You gonna illuminate the nature of reality for us? Good luck dude. :P

Best we can tell, the gathas
Make a comic
Another banger ass video
so basically, Thus Spoke Zarathustra is just a fanfic!
Best comment. It’s even more wild knowing he’s the sacred founder of a religion. It’s kind of like a non-Christian writing a fanfic about Jesus.
@@ThusSpokeHaven the plot just thickened!!
You must not challenge the sanctity of the godhead
baaaaah.... baaAaAH... BaAaAHH... BAH' BAAAAAHHHHHH!!! Boom boom Boom boom Boom boom... BOOM... baaaaah.... baaAAHH... BAH' BAAAAAHHHHHH! Boom boom Boom boom Boom boom... BOOM...
He was the Hebrew prophet Daniel from the Bible.
There saved you 10 minutes.
Zarathustra was greater than Fred.
Nietzche whined a lot. I clicked on this video cause of zarathustra.
Well, you spelled his name wrong so… there’s that
@@davidcolon13 I also pissed on dancers washing them down the void in a golden froth of nietzsche mustache. so... there's that.
So hes basically responsible for the current abrihamic religions
Abraham did not worship Yahweh.
He did, Yahweh Allah and God are the same thing just different languages
From what I understand and studied, at the time of Abram YHWH was considered a lesser God, yet designated A God of Israel.

No
