Thus Spake Zarathustra: A Book for All and None · Chapter 115Chapter XLVIII. Before Sunrise
This chapter is not translated yet. You are reading the original.
Here we have a record of Zarathustra’s avowal of optimism, as also the important statement concerning “Chance” or “Accident” (verse 27). Those who are familiar with Nietzsche’s philosophy will not require to be told what an important role his doctrine of chance plays in his teaching. The Giant Chance has hitherto played with the puppet “man,”—this is the fact he cannot contemplate with equanimity. Man shall now exploit chance, he says again and again, and make it fall on its knees before him! (See verse 33 in “On the Olive-Mount”, and verses 9-10 in “The Bedwarfing Virtue”).
