Kierkegaard and Nietzsche: Living Philosophy
COL 288 SP
Study of major texts by Kierkegaard and Nietzsche against the general background of 19th century philosophy. The reaction against the Kantaian and Hegelian traditions which ensues in these two quite different versions of
living philosophy calls attention to central ethical, social, and religious issues. They also underscore the reflexive question of what philosophy itself is (or should be).
MAJOR READINGS
Kierkegaard, EITHER/OR, FEAR AND TREMBLING, REPETITION, CONCLUDING UNSCIENTIFIC POSTSCRIPT
Nietzsche, THE BIRTH OF TRAGEDY, THUS SPAKE ZARATHUSTRA, THE GENEALOGY OF MORALS, BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL
