Nietzsche [E]

This course introduces students to Nietzsche, the philosopher, critic, and cultural theorist and examines the critically enduring significance of his legacy. Students will be familiarized with his critical contributions to epistemology, ethics, psychology, the theory of history, culture, and education as well as his impact on rethinking the agenda of philosophy. A particular aspect of the course will be the contextualization of his interventions in the intellectual landscape of his period and Nietzsche’s notoriously provocative writing style.
