RE: Short Section From Nietzsche's Thus Spake Zarathustra!

in #philosophy7 years ago

Nietzsche has always been iconic. Which is why he occupies a pivotal place in that transition from modern to contemporary (some call it postmodern) philosophy. What lures me to Nietzsche, however, is the imagery he employs in his works and the poetry of his expression. The image of Zarathustra, at broad daylight, searching for God with a lamp, is among philosophy's most striking imagery. I will revisit this book when I find time. Very soon, hopefully.

Sort:  

I too like that section, especially when Zarathustra throws down the lamp after everyone is laughing at him and says: "I have come too soon".

That summarizes how Nietzsche felt about his philosophy in a nutshell IMHO!!
