Professor Robert Solomon and Professor Kathleen Higgins takes us on an emotional journey of discovery into the heart and mind of this systematically unsystematic philosopher. The course is divided into two parts and twenty-four lectures. Each lecture focuses on the specific ideas that preoccupied Nietzsche, while tracing the profound themes that give shape and meaning to his oeuvre. In the process we discover that many of these themes-the quest for a higher quality of life, the role of creativity and passion, personal virtue and excellence, and human growth and development-form the
very foundation of modern humanistic culture.
