The course will focus on key ideas in Nietzsche’s philosophy, such as his theory of drives, perspectivism, analysis of nihilism, revaluation of values, ‘will to power’, art, and the ‘affirmation of life’. We will discuss, among other works, The Birth of Tragedy, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Genealogy of Morals, and extensive excerpts from Nietzsche’s late notes.
