Thus Spake Zarathustra Part I Metanode

A BOOK FOR ALL AND NONE

This is the first division in the work by Friedrich Nietzsche, and seems a reasonable place to collect them in this manner. For the record, this is an etext from Project Gutenberg, and so is in the public domain. The translation, by Thomas Common, is also in the public domain.

The first discourse, The Three Metamorphoses, I did not node, amoebius did. This put me off the larger project for some time. However, when no more discourses were forthcoming from that source, or any other, I resolved to carry out this project. I am including the first discourse as a convenience to readers.

I read Thus Spake Zarathustra in high school, and again at university. I think it was this very edition, with all its archaic, and quaint affectations--though presumably good usage for its time. Ever since discovering Everything, I have wanted to node this book.

There are four parts all told--and Zarathustra did tell. I will continue to node them as I am able.

I have already noded the first thought of Zarathustra, and, because of its appropriateness, included this link at the end of each discourse.

  1. The Three Metamorphoses
  2. THE ACADEMIC CHAIRS OF VIRTUE
  3. BACKWORLDSMEN
  4. THE DESPISERS OF THE BODY
  5. JOYS AND PASSIONS
  6. THE PALE CRIMINAL
  7. Reading and Writing

  14. The Friend
  15. The Thousand and One Goals
  16. Neighbour-Love
  17. The Way of the Creating One
  18. Old and Young Women
  19. The Bite of the Adder
  20. Child and Marriage
  21. Voluntary Death
  22. The Bestowing Virtue
