About Clancy Martin

NOVELIST, GUGGENHEIM FELLOW, PHILOSOPHER, REBINDER

Clancy Martin is a philosopher, novelist, professor, Guggenheim Fellow, and essayist. Martin has authored more than a dozen books and has written more than three hundred articles and essays on Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, the philosophy of literature, love, and the virtue of truthfulness.

“I'm revealing to you not just what I know and think about Thus Spoke Zarathustra and Friedrich Nietzsche, but it's been so core to me that it's a little bit like I'm revealing my own soul to you as we work through this together.”

Martin's take on Thus Spoke Zarathustra has been four decades in the making. His translation of Thus Spoke Zarathustra is one of the most celebrated versions of the text in English. He has also found the book deeply relevant to his own life, reading it at least once every year of his adult life. "Every time I read it, I find new insights from Nietzsche and make new discoveries about myself," he says.

Countless students across the world have benefitted from Martin's perspective on Nietzsche's masterpiece, and now you can too. There is no better guide for reading Thus Spoke Zarathustra than Martin, and his profound insights on the book are now available to you, only on Rebind.

This is the most creative and interesting book-related AI tech I've seen so far, and I'm happy to see big-name authors leading by example with their openness to exploring generative uses of this technology.

I am suddenly seeing what I was missing, marveling at the explosive possibility of interacting in these discussions. I didn't realize how organic the interactions can be. I only had to make one comment, read the response and then follow up, and all of a sudden I was learning unexpected things.

I've been reading Thus Spoke Zarathustra on Rebind, and it's magical. It's suddenly difficult to imagine reading without having this ongoing discussion where I can ask a hundred questions.

There are a collection of books that are a little intimidating because I never approached them or spent time with them. Having this guided experienced with great context through video and an AI personality to chat with really helps with that.

I felt like this was the best parts of a literature course, where you get the knowledge of someone who has really studied the text without the drain of having to write a paper at the end. For me, this is really kind of perfect.
