God is dead. The Superman. The Will to Power. The Eternal Recurrence.
Friedrich Nietzsche is perhaps the most mysterious and least understood philosopher. His aphorisms are widely quoted—and misappropriated by many he would have despised—but he remains an enigmatic figure.
He launched powerful challenges to some of our most cherished beliefs. For example:
- Pity and laughter are often forms of dominance and power.
- Much of morality is, in fact, a scheme to bring down one’s superiors through guilt, and repression, religion, and rationalization often assist in this scheme.
As unsettling as he can be, when viewed in full, this course finds in Nietzsche’s thought a powerful argument for a fully aware and active life.

It's easy to write Nietzsche off as the mad man who proclaimed "God is dead." But this incredibly lucid and in depth analysis of Nietzsche shows just how much this great philosopher proclaimed, and how right he often was. Robert Solomon and Kathleen Higgins are better conveyors of Nietzsche's ideas than Nietzsche himself and every lecture here is just powerhouse. Listen and let Nietzsche tople your world view and build it back up with his will to power.
