Free from what? What doth that matter to Zarathustra! Clearly, however, shall thine eye show unto me: free FOR WHAT?
Zarathustra asks not what one is free from but what one is free for.
- Will, freedom and the 'I will'The famous reversal: freedom from is nothing, freedom for a goal is everything.

Ludovici argues that in 'Old and New Tables' freedom receives its death-blow as a general desideratum: Nietzsche held freedom dangerous in unworthy hands, asking 'free for what?' and requiring that one first be such as can will.
