To develop a worldview like Sasuke Uchiha’s, you’d want to explore philosophies centered on pain, justice, revenge, isolation, and redemption. Here’s a reading path:
⸻
1. Nietzsche – Thus Spoke Zarathustra or Beyond Good and Evil
• Explores power, will, vengeance, and transcending conventional morality—Sasuke’s early arc in a nutshell.
2. Schopenhauer – The World as Will and Representation
• Pessimism and suffering as inherent to existence; echoes Sasuke’s internal anguish and detachment.
3. Machiavelli – The Prince
• Cold strategy, pragmatism, and leadership through fear—key to Sasuke’s later ideology when he seeks to reshape the shinobi world.
4. Buddhist thought – esp. Zen or Mahayana
• Themes of detachment, the illusory self, and karmic cycles align with his eventual path toward peace and understanding.
5. Stoicism – Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
• Self-control, endurance, and internal strength in the face of hardship—a balance to Sasuke’s more destructive impulses.
