Nietzsche famously regarded Thus Spoke Zarathustra as his greatest
work. However, despite Nietzsche's pervasive influence upon the
philosopher and non-philosopher alike, and his own intense regard
for Zarathustra, there has been relatively little serious study of
Nietzsche's magnum opus. This book seeks to address this gap in the
available literature by taking Thus Spoke Zarathustra seriously,
not only with respect to its impact on the interpretation of
Nietzsche's philosophy, but also in light of the broader questions
of the relationships between poetry, philosophy and existence.
Fifteen leading Nietzsche scholars examine the structure, method,
style and sources of Zarathustra as a philosophical text and its
relationship to methodological and metaphilosophical questions amid
the broader discussions of philosophy. The book also explores the
implications of the philosophical questioning, interventions and
teachings of Zarathustra with respect to both its negative
engagement with the tradition and its attempt to set forth
something new under the sun in its affirmative overcoming of
nihilism.
