Thus Spake Zarathustra

Thus Spake Zarathustra is a work of philosophical fiction written by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche between 1883 and 1885. Scholars have argued that the worst possible way to understand Zarathustra is as a teacher of doctrines. Nonetheless Thus Spake Zarathustra has contributed most to the public perception of Nietzsche as philosopher - namely as the teacher of the doctrines of the will to power the overman and the eternal return.
