Comparison ofNietzsche andJibran: The Case of Thus Spoke Zarathustra and The Prophet

While Nietzsche is a 19th century German philosopher, man of letters, musician, linguist and cultural critic, one of the most well-known names in the field of modern Arabic literature is the man of letters, painter, poet and philosopher Cibran Khalil Cibran. Bringing literature and philosophy together, Cibrans writing life is divided into three phases. The first period in which he deals with social issues is the second stage, which includes doubt and rebellion, and the third stage, where he reaches the maturation of the mind and moves to more peaceful thoughts. In the second phase, when Cibran adopted Nietzsche and identified himself with his thoughts, he wrote his work called The Prophet. The work called The Prophet is very similar to Zarathustra, Thus Spoke, in terms of subject and thought. In study, the German philosopher Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, who wrote critical articles on religion, morality, culture, philosophy and science, and his work titled Also Sprach Zarathustra, titled Thus Spoke Zarathustra, and Cibran Khalil Cibran, the most important face of Immigrant literature, which started a great era in modern Arabic literature. Cibrans Ermis, original printed as The Prophet, will be compared in terms of the aforementioned similarities and differences.
