Nietzsche as a projective psychological examination.
One reads Also sprach Zarathustra, and finds there
a relection of his own moods, ideas, asprirations and fears.
It is so multifaceted, that a wide variety of theses
may be found there.
One one level of analysis, these appear as contradictions.
The spirited, impassioned reader, eager to find corroboration
of his own experience, will ignore what is alien to him,
most likely he will not even understand it;
possibly not even be aware of its existence.

Nietzsches work is poetry; the most prominent of
which is Also sprach Zarathustra.
I refer to the original text.
Its calculated ambiguity makes it 
as untranslatable as any lyric poem.
Each translation will create a different work
for which the original author can hardly be held accountable.

Der Ausdruck Uebermensch hat seinen Ursprung
in der Reformationszeit, wurde zuerst auf Lutheraner,
ins besondere auf ihre Pfarrer angewandt,
von Herder auf den hervorragenden Menschen ueberhaupt.
Der Wiedergeborene (born again) der erloeste Mensch.
Der Mensch ist eins Untergang und ein Uebergang.
Dasz der Mensch untergehen musz,
um zu etwas Hoeherem verwandelt zu werden?
Was koennte christlicher gefuehlt und gedacht sein?
