PROJECT ZARATHUSTRA

zarathustra

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, written by Friedrich Nietzsche, contains his most important ideas: the Übermensch, the death of God, the will to power, and eternal recurrence. Nietzsche urges us not to fear carving our own path in life, valuing our inner beliefs above all else, even if it leads to loneliness or being seen as 'crazy' or 'blunt'. By doing so, we may become 'shepherds,' guiding others to better ways of thinking. Life only gains meaning when we give it one. This is the path of the Übermensch.

The original translation of Zarathustra is complex and uses old-fashioned language. This project aims to translate each chapter into simple, modern English. If you're curious about nihilism, start here...
