Publication at Second Faculty of Medicine |
1997

Abstract

Nietzsche's philosophical poem,,So spoke Zarathustra" belongs to the fundamentals of modern thinking, The author analyzed this work regarding the problems of narcissism. Although the overall tenor of the poem doesn't tend unambiguously to the promotion of narcissism, the poem itself contents a number of pictures corresponding to narcissism which had a far-reaching cultural meaning, Nietzsche was evidently the first creator who presented systematically the peculiar attraction of egocentric and narcissistic motives for the human mind in his work.
