Manage episode 331093268 series 3326719
John and Danny discuss Friedrich Nietzsche's three metamorphoses story, which appeared in his now iconic work of philosophical fiction, Thus Spoke Zarathustra (1883). Nietzsche believed that the purpose of human existence is to achieve one's full potential. To achieve that, a spirit had to go through three transformations: a camel, a lion, and a child. We explore what characterises each of the phases and examine their relevance and application in everyday life.
