·13 min·1 clip

Zarathustra identifies the 'spirit of revenge' as the curse that turned all life into penalty.

This episode presents a dramatic reading and exploration of Chapter 42, 'Redemption,' from Friedrich Nietzsche's 'Thus Spake Zarathustra.' The prophet Zarathustra is challenged by a hunchback to prove his teachings by healing the cripples, leading into a profound philosophical discourse on the nature of the human will, its imprisonment by the past ('It was'), and the 'spirit of revenge' that underlies traditional morality.
