Description
Thus Spake Zarathustra is an important philosophical text by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. In it he begins his exploration of morality, questioning the assumption of Christianity or Judaism as a basis for morality. He wrote about the "death of God" and the "Übermensch" (superhuman) who would have supreme morality. Ironically, Nietzsche mimics the style of the Bible, fictionalizing Zarathustra as his protagonist.

Description
The influential German philosopher employs a parodistic Biblical style to convey his philosophy of the future, in which man will have broken with the Christian doctrines of submission and denial of nature to a new way of life based on the affirmation of human life and will.
