Michael Pierce | Nietzsche's Zarathustra - 4 - Dionysos the Crucified @MichaelPiercePhilosophy | Uploaded February 2024 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
This lecture discusses Friedrich Nietzsche's ideas regarding the ancient Greek god Dionysos (often spelled "Dionysus"), and argues that Dionysos bears a deep underlying resemblance to Christ, as a dying and resurrecting god. This naturally leads me into some theological and philosophical reflections on major ideas in Nietzsche's thought.

Next week will be, I think, the last in these prefatory videos: after that I will finally get into "Thus Spake Zarathustra" itself.
