SEMINAR DESCRIPTION
What can a reclusive 19th century German thinker with an absurdly large mustache teach us about how we might fashion a more invigorating collective life for ourselves in the 21st century and beyond? This is the question driving this four-session seminar. Our guide in this exploration, Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900), had many incendiary thoughts on issues that, today, seem to be sitting within a tender box: democracy, identity, civilization, consciousness, religion, truth, and even what counts as “the human” itself. In this seminar, we will look to Nietzsche not as a wisdom guru or a political pundit but as a guide to thinking.
Our text is Nietzsche NOW! The Great Immoralist on the Vital Issues of Our Time, by the seminar facilitator, Glenn Wallis. The book includes abundant extracts from Nietzsche himself. You can find links to purchase the book and further information at the publisher’s site.
