All Joy Wants Eternity

Twelve central questions from Nietzsche’s Zarathustra, brought up to date by one of the most important German-language philosophers.

The central questions of human life within the twelve midnight bells: Nietzsche’s “O man! Take heed!” explores the deep voids of humankind, the unconscious depths of our feelings and affects, and the tension between pain and lust, life and death, which has become unbearable.

Konrad Paul Liessmann shows how central this mysterious text is for our political and cultural self-image by continuing Nietzsche’s school of thought and figures of speech into the present and our lives in a surprising and provocative way – from midnight to eternity.
