PHL 430 - Nietzsche and Heidegger (4 Cr.)(Formerly PHL 330)
A reading of three of Nietzsche’s works: Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Beyond Good and Evil, and The Gay Science in conjunction with works of Martin Heidegger that interpret Nietzsche, address Nietzsche, and confront (auseinandersetzung) Nietzsche. We will read Volumes One and Two of Heidegger’s Nietzsche Lectures, The Question Concerning Technology, and the Contributions to Philosophy. This course offers the opportunity to experience the philosophical interaction of two philosophical greats that set the table for all of the philosophical discussions of the late 20th century and early 21st century. This course offers an opportunity to read Nietzsche on the major concepts of the Overman and “going under,” the Transvaluation of Values, the Eternal Return, amor fati, etc. and to track the influence of those thoughts through Heidegger to contemporary philosophy. Heidegger and Nietzsche together create the possibility of Foucault, Derrida, Lyotard, and all post-modernist thought. Prerequisite: Either two philosophy courses (one at the 300-level), or permission of the instructor. Spring semester. Offered 2017-18 and alternate years. Rose.
