Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was a 19th-century Prussian philosopher, philologist, cultural critic, poet, and composer, born in present-day Germany. He wrote several texts criticizing religion, morals, and contemporary culture.
In his work Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Nietzsche constitutes a selective selection of the multiple possibilities that the work allows. Therefore, this is how we avoid a closed model of interpretation and guarantee our perspective and, above all, experimental character.
The author invests all his intellectual energy in the analysis of man as a free being, as a being in himself, exempt from all the harms that he suffered as a result of the imposition of collective man or man organized in society. Man only fulfills himself in yes, for yes, and for himself, rising to levels that free him from the injunctions of the perverse collective, self-interested and masked under the appearances of community, society, religion, politics, economy, and other things that subvert the principles of his superior nature, a nature that hovers above all the deleterious forces that unite to reduce man as a slave to pseudo-social structures.
Nietzsche comes to bring us never-before-seen light, precisely on what implies in the way we invest our desire. In the way we wish to exist, we invest sensitivity, the use of the body, the use of movement, the use of thought, the use of language, the use of passions, actions, sensations, memories, and images, in short. The text presents characteristics of Nietzsche's moral philosophy and shows the German philosopher as one who sought to understand the "want to live", an expansion of life.
With the thought of eternal return, Zarathustra's disciples recount a scene they witnessed. At one point, they saw a man approaching them in the air, announcing that the time had come; We emphasize that this man was Zarathustra. The idea of the eternal return—the prospect of having to live one's life over and over, every detail repeated, every pain alongside every joy—becomes all the more potential when one thinks about having to relive that life, to its terrible end.
At the end of the story, Zarathustra himself wonders about the meaning that all this could have: "Why the ghost entirely: The time has come! The time has come! Of what - the time has come?" Of redemption", after listening to the speech that Zarathustra gives to his disciples, a hunchback starts a conversation with him, launching the challenge: "But why does Zarathustra speak to his disciples differently - than to himself? "The quietest hour", something without a voice speaks to Zarathustra, urging him to announce the eternal return.
