Jung's Seminar on Nietzsche's Zarathustra

4 reviews

Princeton University Press, 1997

Jung contra Nietzsche, round 1.
Wonderful analysis, completely devoid of logical gaps or special requests from the reader: everything said, every assertation, is capable of hitting home and clarifying what was before a quirky throw-back of Nietzsche's. And *interesting* to boot -- this book is no long-winded scrutiny of Zarathustra, but rather the transcription of a private group analysis led by Jung, so it never loses itself ...

In Search of Zarathustra: Across Iran and Central Asia to Find the World's First Prophet

Paul Kriwaczek

Vintage, 2004

From Nietzsche to Zarathustra
The ancient Persian prophet Zoroaster taught that the world was caught in a struggle between good and evil. He believed in one God, called Ahura Mazda, in a struggle with the forces of darkness. He was a theological monist and an ethical dualist. Human beings had the responsibility of working to bring about the good and eliminate the evil. The good would triumph in the end. Zoroaster was one of ...

Zarathustra's Secret

Yale University Press, 2002

Borderlands of nightmare
Charged with some degree of speculation, this work is nonetheless a significant perspective on Nietzsche that any student of the subject ought to consider. Isn't the author's point, despite a near animus toward his subject, rather clear from the data examined? We need not finalize opinion to be grateful for an examination of a man who lived the discovery of the unconscious, without jargon or ...

Richard Strauss

Dover Publications, 1979

Three Great Tone Poems
Richard Strauss was in many ways the epitome of the late romatic composer, and perhaps the only true musical descendant of Richard Wagner. His tone poems, like any great piece of music, are like a whole seperate world. The tone poems in this volume are three of his most popular. The escapades of Til Eulenspiegel, the familiar opening of Also Sprach Zarathustra (and the less familiar final bars ...

Nietzsche: Thus Spoke Zarathustra (Cambridge Texts in the History of Philosophy)

2 reviews
Friedrich Nietzsche

Cambridge University Press, 2006

Excellent Piece of Philosophy--But have Kaufmann's at Your Side
This was the textbook to a college class on Zarathustra, and I have to say not only am I glad I took the class, I'm incredibly happy I have this book. First I'll tackle the negatives. The teacher used this instead of Kaufmann's translation because he noticed it packed in a few lines that Kaufmann's lacked: however it also discarded some. So essentially the translation is incomplete. ...

Thus Spake Zarathustra: A Book for All and None (Webster's Spanish Thesaurus Edition)

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

ICON Group International, Inc., 2008

One of the most challenging works I have ever read
Thus Spoke Zarathustra (originally Also Sprach Zarathustra) is considered by some (myself included) to have been the crowning work of the nineteenth century German philosopher Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844-1900). Unlike most modern philosophical works, Zarathustra's format harkens back to the Bible and to the ancient Greek works such as Plato's dialogues. In it, Zarathustra wanders the ...

Nietzsche's Zarathustra

Kathleen M. Higgins

Temple University Press, 1990

Great to read after and before Nietzsche's masterpiece.
In this book, Higgins does not act as your tour guide, as Alderman and Lampert do in their books, but rather is the one who has written the well thought out, beautifully illustrated catalog--the one that either makes you want to take the journey in the first place, or the one that shows you all the nice sites you might have missed along the way. But enough metaphors... This book is a ...

Friedrich Nietzsche

Nonsuch Publishing, 2006

Unleash the power within
What a book this is! The announcement, the challenge to humanity, 'I give you, the superman!' God is dead. Many of Nietzsches idea's are so modern, or the foundation of modern life (think of the messiah complexes and beyond good or evil personas of rock stars like Marilyn Manson), it is so hard to believe he wrote this in the Victorian age (not hard then to see why he went insane). The most ...

the best of the best three
this book is the best among the ones in its catagory; those are in my opinion jack london's martin eden, and hermann hesse's siddhartha.i have read thus told zharadustra more than ten times and i am still reading it because of the 1)perfection in the usage of nietzsche's language 2)the overhuman philosophy's uncertainity 3)effect of nietzsche on the 20th century's all philosophers and ...

Nietzsche's Epic of the Soul: Thus Spoke Zarathustra

4 reviews
T.K. Seung

Lexington Books, 2005

A Bold New Reading of Nietzsche's Zarathustra
This interpretation of Nietzsche's *Thus Spoke Zarathustra* is bold and exciting. One of the main strengths of this book is the author's attempt to bring together two themes that are often noted in connection with *Zarathustra*, but rarely integrated: the modern vision of a deterministic universe and the spiritual journey of the individual soul. I know of no other interpretation that takes ...

19th-century literary and philosophical masterpiece introduces the controversial doctrine of the Ubermensch, or "superman," a term later perverted by Nazi propagandists.

The introduction is done by his sister Elizabeth.
