Also sprach Zarathustra


'''''Also sprach Zarathustra''''' (''Thus Spoke Zarathustra'') is a book started in 1885 by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche; it is arguably one of the most famous books in philosophy. The book was originally written as three separate volumes over a period of several years. Later, Nietzsche decided to write another three volumes but only managed to write a fourth (although it is said by his sister, Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche, that the notes to the fifth and sixth parts exist in her introduction of the text and were in her possession at that time). After Nietzsche's death, it was printed as a single volume. The book chronicles the wanderings and teachings of a philosopher, self-named Zarathustra after the founder of Zoroastrianism in ancient Persia. The book uses a poetic, fictional form, often satirizing the New Testament, to explore many of Nietzsche's ideas. Central to Zarathustra is the notion that human beings are a transitional form between apes and what Nietzsche called the Übermensch, literally "over-person," usually translated as "superman" or more literally "overman". The name is one of the many puns in the book and refers most clearly to the image of the sun coming over the horizon at dawn as well as the basic notion of overcoming. Largely episodic, the stories in Zarathustra can be read in any order. Zarathustra contains the famous statement, "God is dead," although this also appeared in Nietzsche's earlier book Die fröhliche Wissenschaft (''The Gay Science''). The final two unwritten volumes of the book were planned to depict Zarathustra's missionary work and his eventual death. See also: Übermensch.

Strauss's Zarathustra, and its use as a cliché

Also sprach Zarathustra is also the title of a symphonic poem by Richard Strauss, composed in 1896 and inspired by the book. It is best known for its use in Stanley Kubrick's 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey (which is postulated to have also been inspired by the book, at least in part). The opening "Dawn" section is used three times, most famously in the opening title sequence. Since being popularized by its use in the movie, the "Dawn" section has been used as the entrance music for singer Elvis Presley and professional wrestling star Ric Flair, and also at many occasions at the University of South Carolina. The use of this piece at South Carolina began in 1983, when the school's late football coach Joe Morrison introduced it as the team's entrance music. This has spread to pre-game introductions for basketball and is played for baseball also, and is used in graduation ceremonies at the University. In the United Kingdom the musical work is popularly associated with the BBC's coverage of the Apollo Moon landings. Eumir Deodato had a worldwide popular hit in 1972 with a funk arrangement of the piece. audio file (MIDI) Thus Spake Zarathustra Category:1885 books Category:Books by Friedrich Nietzsche Category:Books starting with A Category:Philosophy books Category:Pieces Category:Richard Strauss compositions Category:Songs popular at sporting events Category:University of South Carolina fr:Ainsi parlait Zarathoustra he:כה אמר זרתוסטרא it:Così parlò Zarathustra ja:ツァラトゥストラはこう語った pt:Assim Falou Zaratustra sv:Så talade Zarathustra
