"Thus Spoke Zarathustra" is Nietzsche's landmark work and contains almost all of Nietzsche's thoughts. The whole book is written in a wild and unrestrained poetic style, blending the intoxication of Dionysus and the sobriety of Apollo. It uses the symbols of Apollo and Dionysus to explain the origin, essence, function of art and the meaning of life.
Nietzsche claimed that this is a book written for artists who have both analytical and reflective abilities. It is full of psychological insights and artistic mysteries. It is "a youthful work full of youthful courage and youthful sadness."
Reader comments
Although, unless there is an explanation or you have done research on this aspect, this book is really abstract and cannot be understood at all. Secondly, there are many ideas that are too extreme for ordinary people today. If people imitate them without the strong power to match them, they will most likely become either madmen or assholes.
