Assignment:
1. The old saint tells Zarathustra: "Now I love God; man I love not. Man is for me too imperfect a thing. Love of man would kill me" (Thus Spoke Zarathustra, 123). What point is Nietzsche making in this passage about the belief system of Christianity?
2. Zarathustra boldly proclaims, "The overman is the meaning of the earth. Let you will say: the overman shall be the meaning of the earth!" (Zarathustra, 125). Explain what beliefs or values the overman is supposed to represent based on this passage.
3. How is King's definition of a just law connected to authors we have looked at previously such as Plato and Augustine? That is, how is his definition of a just law metaphysical? See "Letter from Birmingham City Jail," 6.
