- For those who can stomach it, those who can despise with a good conscience & who acknowledge that every higher virtue is also the degrading of another virtue, this is an endlessly vitalizing manual for the re-creation of the Earth, the centrality of bodily health and vigor, and the road toward a new or trans- humanity which will inherit the entire planet... a species that lies beyond the coming humanitarian order of equals but who requires their arising, a species which is prefabricated by all those who would absorb the highest ideals of the past and go beyond them, who would make a journey out of stepping-beyond even their own most senior thoughts.
- It is the self-proclaimed "best work" from the most provocative philosophical and spiritual teacher of the 19th century. An enchanting, dancing song-like meditation which must one day become an hilarious cartoon. Given N's track-record as a visionary and his radical commitment to synthesizing the deepest and far-est knowledge, this jewel-text should not be overlooked as a practical and inspirational indicator of the situation we face globally and the spirit in which we must address it.
The most careful ask today: "How is man to be maintained?" Zarathustra however asketh, as the first and only one: "How is man to be surpassed?"
In that ye have despised, ye higher men, that maketh me hope. For the great despisers are the great reverers.
