Primary Source Text: Zarathustra on Good and Evil
What assumptions does Zarathustra make about human nature and the capacity of human beings to make morally good choices out of their own free will?
Zarathustra assumes that all human beings have the ability to make morally good choices out of their own free will. However, in truth, some do not always choose this way. He feels this occurs because of human nature's constant struggle within oneself to make the right choices all the time. In order to ensure this happens, one must feed oneself with goodness. Perfoming righteous deeds is one way in which human beings can do this.
