Description:

Concluding Friedrich Nietzsche’s Thus Spoke Zarathustra (1885).

What's the wise way to live? We start in earnest into part three, treating the "spirit of gravity" where socially-imposed values cover over your uniqueness, omni-satisfaction vs. being choosy, "Old and New Tablets" where Nietzsche explores various ethical and meta-ethical issues (e.g. is self-overcoming a matter of one-time self-actualization or is it continual?), and more on the Overman and eternal recurrence.

End song: "Upright Man" by Rachel Taylor Brown, as interviewed on Nakedly Examined Music #91.
