Nietzsche: Thus Spoke Zarathustra (Cambridge Texts in the History of Philosophy) by Robert Pippin (PDF)

Description

Nietzsche regarded ‘Thus Spoke Zarathustra’ as his most important work, and his story of the wandering Zarathustra has had enormous influence on subsequent culture. Nietzsche uses a mixture of homilies, parables, epigrams and dreams to introduce some of his most striking doctrines, including the Overman, nihilism, and the eternal return of the same. This edition offers a new translation by Adrian Del Caro which restores the original versification of Nietzsche’s text and captures its poetic brilliance. Robert Pippin’s introduction discusses many of the most important interpretative issues raised by the work, including who is Zarathustra and what kind of ‘hero’ is he and what is the philosophical significance of the work’s literary form? The volume will appeal to all readers interested in one of the most original and inventive works of modern philosophy.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐The best Nietzsche book ever, my fav. I think it’s deep, dark, light, and wonderful. I think this publisher is a cut above. The pages even feel rich

⭐The quality of this publication is top notch. It is laid out very well and the footnotes are perfect not to many but just enough. I cannot attest to the translation itself because this is my first time reading TSZ. Yo really have to concentrate when reading this it is very esoteric and full of interesting imagery.

⭐The three points I give are for the translation of the Cambridge edition. I recently started reading Zarathustra in French, keeping the Cambridge edition at hand so that I can refer to it and be sure my reading in French is correct. This made me read both this edition and the French translation very closely. And to my surprise, I began seeing silly typos (they are silly but will readily be corrected by any reader) and not only those but an omission in translation too. In “On the Tree on the Mountain” of Part I, where Zarathustra tells a certain young man about the meaning of “the highest hope,” the young man on his part has something very important to say:”My contempt and my longing grow t the same time; the higher I climb, the more I despise the climber. What does he want up high?”That is from Walter Kaufmann’s translation (I looked it up), and it should appear at the beginning of the third paragraph on p. 30 of this edition. I’ll update this post if I come across more cases of such carelessness on the part of, I don’t know, Cambridge Press? Would you please be more careful, methodical, thorough?

⭐If you are wondering why Stanford University Press has not published a translation of Nietzsche’s Thus Spoke Zarathustra based on the Colli and Montinari German edition, wonder no more. Cambridge UP has already done it. Del Caro is a superb translator of Nieztsche. I highly recommend his superb translation of

⭐Classic piece. Arrived as requested in good order.

⭐no complaints, good condition, good book!

⭐book is a book. or is it. think about it

⭐This review is of the version that Amazon is selling. Amazon is printing this book themselves using their own print-on-demand press (as highlighted at the back of the book), but they are printing the 2012 version. The Kindle version is the 2006 version. The revised version was printed by Cambridge University Press in 2020 and it incorporated important revisions and corrections. If you buy the book from Book Depository, Speedy Hen, or directly from Cambridge University Press you’ll get the revised and corrected version and some of those corrections are important.The revised version of the book itself is easily 5 stars.

⭐Thanks
