Nietzsche’s Genius Philosophy - Thus Spoke Zarathustra

Video Description

Nietzsche wrote a novel? Yes, he did. Nietzsche is perhaps the most influential philosopher in the past 200 years. His most popular book is actually a philosophical novel. Thus Spoke Zarathustra published in the 1880s is a novel in which Nietzsche discussed some of the most ground-breaking ideas. For example, "will to power", "eternal recurrence" and his most controversial idea, "ubermensch" or overman. So in this video I will explain everything in the novel and also Nietzsche's fundamental philosophy that "god is dead" and how to respond to nihilism. Nietzsche's solution to the meaninglessness that has come out of modernity is in art. So this video will explain how Nietzsche's ubermensch can be found in literature. I specifically discuss three 20th century novelists, Marcel Proust, Franz Kafka and Charles Bukowski in reference to Nietzsche's philosophy that art can give us a purpose and meaning in our lives and can liberate us from nihilism. In other words, Nietzsche tries to replace God with human artists, whom he calls ubermensch. I will also explain the three main concepts in the novel, eternal recurrence, will to power and ubermensch which is translated as overman, over-human and even superman. I will also discuss why Nietzsche’s answer to nihilism is art, and how artists like Marcel Proust, Franz Kafka and Charles Bukowski fit into Nietzsche’s notion of Ubermensch, artists who transcended themselves. At the end I will respond to Jordan Peterson’s criticisms of Nietzsche.
