casparb 's review for:
Thus Spoke Zarathustra: A Book for Everyone and No One
by Friedrich Nietzsche
Uh oh big cringe man Nietzsche here
I've been meaning to get good at actually reading philosophy so thought I'd start somewhere fairly straightforward.
I think the interesting bit about this is the form: mock-Biblical New Testament narrative, which at times obfuscates the clarity of meaning, but I think Nietzsche was aware of this - part of why Derrida was curious about him.
There's some worthy erudition here, and I think it merits a reread at some point, but so much is let down by the entirely catastrophic chapters on women: 'Everything in woman is a riddle, and everything in woman hath one answer -it is called pregnancy' ok Fred
