{"product_id":"2940150838826","title":"Thus Spake Zarathustra: A Book for All and None (illustrated)","description":"Thus Spake Zarathustra is certainly Nietzsche's most controversial and probably his\u003cbr\u003e most important work. The concepts that \"God is Dead\" and \"Eternal Recurrence\" with \u003cbr\u003etheir attendant ramifications are major features of this work. Highly original and \u003cbr\u003einventive, Thus Spake Zarathustra defies simple categorization. Part literature, part \u003cbr\u003ephilosophy, it parodies both, in its stylistic resemblance to the New Testament and P\u003cbr\u003ere-Socratic Greek writings. Through a fictionalized version the character Zarathustra,\u003cbr\u003e the legendary founder of Zoroasterianism, Nietzsche propounds a new and different \u003cbr\u003eversion of moral philosophy. During the course of the story presented in this loosely \u003cbr\u003estructured narrative, Nietzsche develops and presents a contrary view of mankind: as \u003cbr\u003elying somewhere between the apes and the ultimate Superman, or Ubermensch. Ranging \u003cbr\u003efrom unsupported assumptions to rigorous argument - from exposition to dialog to \u003cbr\u003epoetry - Thus Spake Zarathustra is a surprising, engaging and thought provoking \u003cbr\u003elook at the condition of mankind. Nietzsche himself considered this to be his \u003cbr\u003emost important work. \u003cbr\u003eHis tragic end, in a state of complete mental breakdown, precluded any possibility \u003cbr\u003ethat it would be superseded and raised a question of the association between madness \u003cbr\u003eand genius.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncludes unique illustrations.","brand":"Potter\/Ten Speed\/Harmony","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47068659024112,"sku":"2940150838826","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940150838826_p0.jpg?v=1763754530","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940150838826","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
