Reasoning
After reading Danto's book and the Roudledge Critical Thinkers book I know have a better idea of what Nietzsche's key thoughts were, and by revisiting certain chapters in Thus Spoke Zarathustra that came up in the two books might be helpful as I have a better idea of what to look for in the text. I want to re-read Of the Three Metamorphoses, Of the Thousand and One Goals, Of the Tarantulas, Of the Spirit of Gravity, and The Convalescent.
My previous notes on Thus Spoke Zarathustra can be found here.
What I Gained
I didn't gain as much from this as I had hoped, mainly:
- How important Of the Three Metamorphoses is in regards to how is ideas are introduced to the rest of book.
- Nietzsche's insistence that religion is itself an old morality.
Potentially useful quotes:
Next Steps
Beyond Good and Evil is the next book that I want to read, as I feel that there's probably not much more I can now take from a book about Nietzsche. I feel that this one in particular should be worth reading because of how the Stanford Encyclopaedia of Philosophy says it talks about imagination, self-assertion, originality and creation of values.
