Thus Spake Zarathustra

Фридрих Вильгельм Ницше (1844-1900) - немецкий мыслитель, классический филолог, композитор, создатель самобытного философского учения, которое носит подчеркнуто неакадемический характер и отчасти поэтому имеет широкое распространение, выходящее за пределы научно-философского сообщества. Фундаментальная концепция Ницше включает в себя особые критерии оценки действительности, поставившие под сомнение базисные принципы действующих форм морали, религии, культуры и общественно-политических отношений...

Der Ubermensch, der Wille zur Macht und die ewige Wiederkehr des Gleichen. Das sind die zentralen Themen des gro?en Philosophen und Kritikers Nietzsche. Das sind die Lehren, die sein Zarathustra entwickelt, um gegen den lahmenden Nihilismus der Welt einen neuen Sinn zu verleihen.

The Joyous Science is a liberating voyage of discovery as Nietzsche's realization that 'God is dead' and his critique of morality, the arts and modernity give way to an exhilarating doctrine of self-emancipation and the concept of eternal recurrence. Here is Nietzsche at his most personal and affirmative; in his words, this is a book of 'exuberance, restlessness, contrariety and April showers'. With its unique voice and style, its playful combination of poetry and prose,...
