《查拉圖斯特拉如是說》Thus Spake Zarathustra
Grace M. Moreover, the existential views of Friedrich Nietzche, through radically different from that of Emerson, also stresses the role of individual thinking. In his work, Thus Spake Zarathustra Nietzche warns that the tradition of western society has mechanized human living. Only selected men can overcome social mores and discover peace in life, These "Ubermanches" of supermen, can accept the meaninglessness of life and find ultimate satisfaction by acting according to their own instincts. Therefore, men who do not follow tradition, who rely on themselves for original ideas, will not be absorbed into the absurdities of modern life. According to Nietzche, the ideal life in this meaningless world involves a rejection of tradition. And like Emerson, the racial ideas of Nietzche spawned the existential movement, which gave a generation of post-WW2 intellects some solace and explanation for the brutal reality. Men with new ideas can have more power to sway minds than the toughest acts of coercion.

點評：看完這一段，所有你能做的就是坐下來好好欣賞，你會被 Grace 的智慧、文風(fēng)和在這段文字中展現(xiàn)出來的歷史的廣度和哲思的深度所折服。很難想象她在寫這一段的時候還只是名高中低年級的學(xué)生。現(xiàn)在，她可能在鄰近巴黎大學(xué)的一家咖啡館一遍品著咖啡，一邊讀著雅克·拉康（Jacques Lacan）作品集或者是在分析德里達(dá)（Derrida）的作品。
