'In Ecce Homo, Nietzsche writes that Thus Spoke Zarathustra is the 'greatest gift' humanity has ever received-the 'most elevated book' with a 'voice that spans over millennia.' Despite this, anglophone Nietzsche scholars have been somewhat reluctant to engage with the work he took to be his true masterpiece. So we should thank Keith Ansell-Pearson and Paul Loeb for putting together this intriguing collection of essays entirely dedicated to Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Their volume advances the debate on several fronts. On the one hand, it approaches the thought of eternal recurrence-central not only to Thus Spoke Zarathustra, but to Nietzsche's thought as such-from new angles. On the other hand, and perhaps more surprisingly, it shows that Thus Spoke Zarathustra is also an essential work when it comes to aspects of Nietzsche's thought such as his views on naturalism, moral psychology, pessimism, the will to power, and the meaning of philosophy itself.' Mattia Riccardi, Assistant Professor of Philosophy, University of Porto
