The Will to Power: The Philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche by Robert C. Solomon, Kathleen M. Higgins
Requirements: .MP3 reader, 172 MB
Overview: Who was Friedrich Nietzsche? This lonely and chronically ill, yet passionate, daring, and complex man is perhaps the most mysterious and least understood of all contemporary philosophers. Why are his brilliant insights so relevant for today? How did he become the most misinterpreted and unfairly maligned intellectual figure of the last two centuries? To provide shape to Nietzsche’s thought, each of these lectures focuses on specific ideas that preoccupied Nietzsche while tracing the profound themes that give meaning to his work. You’ll get a chance to put Nietzsche’s life and work in a larger historical and philosophical context. You’ll explore the controversial philosopher’s subtle, complex critique of both religious belief and Greek rationalism.You’ll also spend a wealth of time focusing on Nietzsche’s famous writing style, which deftly combines the majesty of the prophet, the force of the Homeric warrior, and the lyricism of the poet – but which nonetheless is rife with inconsistencies, exaggerations, and personal attacks. And you’ll get a better understanding of Nietzsche’s complaints and criticisms of the intellectual currents of his time: Christian moralism, evolution, socialism, democracy, and nationalism.
