A step-by-step guide to Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Thus
Spoke Zarathustra is one of Nietzsche's greatest books, a
cross-over text that combines philosophical innovation with
literary experimentation. With Zarathustra Nietzsche has attempted
a redefinition of the form-content correlation in philosophical
writing and as such the text is considered an experiment in
philosophical style. It therefore represents a large hurdle for
undergraduate students. This projected commentary works on the
assumption that access to the philosophical core of the text can
only be gained through taking its literary ambitions seriously and
that, moreover, these literary ambitions can only be understood as
an attempt to realise philosophical ideas. This is a book that is
designed to be read alongside Nietzsche and will therefore make the
reading and appreciation of the primary material achievable. This
approach will be welcomed by students and lecturers alike.
This is an introduction to one of Nietzsche's most important works
- a key text in nineteenth-century philosophy. Friedrich Nietzsche
was arguably the most important and influential thinker of the
nineteenth century. "The Birth of Tragedy", his first published
work, is a classic text that remains an essential read for those
seeking to understand the development of Nietzsche's ideas. Indeed,
it is difficult to make sense of Nietzsche as a philosopher and
writer without a thorough understanding of "The Birth of Tragedy",
without doubt one of his most influential texts. "Nietzsche's 'The
Birth of Tragedy': A Reader's Guide" offers a concise and
accessible introduction to this hugely important and yet
challenging work. Written specifically to meet the needs of
students coming to Nietzsche for the first time, the book offers
guidance on: philosophical and historical context; key themes;
reading the text; reception and influence; and, further reading.
"Continuum Reader's Guides" are clear, concise and accessible
introductions to key texts in literature and philosophy. Each book

students.
