C. G. Jung's Nietzsche's Zarathustra: Notes of the Seminar Given in 1934-1939 presents the extensive record of Jung's private seminar devoted to Friedrich Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Edited by James L. Jarrett, the seminar was first published in this two-volume Princeton University Press edition in 1988.

Jung had been deeply interested in Nietzsche since his student years. In these seminars he examines Zarathustra from the perspective of analytical psychology, discussing Nietzsche's ideas, symbolism, psychology, religion, mythology, the unconscious, archetypes, and the relationship between Nietzsche's intellectual achievement and psychological development. Because the seminars were originally delivered privately rather than prepared for publication, they also preserve a comparatively informal and expansive presentation of Jung's thought.

This is the complete, unabridged two-volume edition, rather than the much shorter abridged versions of the Zarathustra seminars.
