Schemel Forum Evening Course:

What Spoke Zarathustra?
Deciphering Friedrich Nietzsche’s Magnum Opus

Nietzsche once claimed that his magnum opus, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, was the
“greatest gift to mankind,” and although many might dispute this claim, there is no doubt that the philosophical ideas and literary style of Zarathustra exercised a profound influence on twentieth-century philosophy, art, politics and culture and that the work remains a source of interest today. The purpose of this course is to work through this enigmatic text while discussing its connections to Greek tragedy, Wagnerian opera and Nietzsche’s larger philosophy.
