Philosophy 184

The course will seek to give a comprehensive picture of Nietzsche’s thought. To this end, we will follow the evolution of Nietzsche’s thinking from early works like /The Birth of Tragedy/ and /The Use and Abuse of History/ through his middle period represented by /The Gay Science/ and mature writings like /Beyond Good and Evil/ and /The Genealogy of Morals/ to his final effort to unite his thought in the comprehensive visions of /The Will to Power/.
