Subject: March pick Nietzsche
From: Dr.Wolfgang Schirmacher (wolfphilo@yahoo.com)
Date: Fri Mar 10 2000 - 23:56:19 CST
The show must go on.
My pick for the month of March is (my comrade-in-arms) Friedrich Nietzsche,
Beyond Good and Evil: Preliminaries to a Philosophy of the Future.
Translator Walter Kaufmann. Vintage 1989 (if out of print, please use the
Penguin Classics edition), and I expect your comments in April.
(By the way, LATE notes are always welcome.)
As by-texts from CONTINENTAL PHILOSOPHY anthology I'd like to suggest:
Soeren Kierkegaard, Either/Or (65-67)
Friedrich Nietzsche, The Gay Science / Twilight of the Idols / The Will to
Power (75-88)
Max Scheler, Man's Place in Nature ((123-131)
From our newly designed website about the reincarnated Nietzsche (as
astonishing hybrid with Fred Astaire):
Fred Ulfers
"There is a radical undecidability between life and death. 'If you don't
kill me, you will kill me,' said Kafka to his physician."

SUMMER RESIDENCY August 6 -27, 2000

NIETZSCHE AND 20th CENTURY THOUGHT (3 credits) Examines how aesthetics,
epistemology, communication and ethics have been radically changed by
Nietzsche's critique of the unity of the subject, the representational logic
of language, and the metaphysics of truth.
