Nietzsche was one of the most revolutionary and subversive thinkers in Western p
hilosophy, and "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" remains his most famous and influential
work. It describes how the ancient Persian prophet Zarathustra descends from his
solitude in the mountains to tell the world that God is dead and that the Super
man, the human embodiment of divinity, is his successor. With blazing intensity
and poetic brilliance, Nietzsche argues that the meaning of existence is not to
be found in religious pieties or meek submission, but in an all-powerful life fo
rce: passionate, chaotic & free.
