Dr Rosen, post-Kantian I
can one develop???
people don�t create selves from nothing/as they wish
can remember ourselves, but to a limited degree
some people use their WP laudably, others don�t
he�s appealing to those with ears to hear him
either deterministic or refuse to question
he�s not interested in FW + responsibility
�be a man and don�t follow me� � Wagner
accumulation of perspectives � overall meta-perspective � maybe, seems non-Nietzschean
having firm foundation = drive for truth
GM � ethical dimension of search for truth
impulse not to believe the unsafe
truth as aesthetic???
we must adept that which is life-enhancing
WP 50� desire for truth as +ve aspect of WP????
truth = the desire for foundation BUT there is no foundation � WEAKNESS
to deny perspectivism is to stand truth on her head
desire for certainty (GS, Z) separating higher from lower human
endorsing the honesty of ascetic, strength in the drive for certainty and looking for foundatoins, so long as you conclude it�s foundationless
we last of the Stoics � in the future, people will laugh at Nietzsche�s own desire for truth
desiring firm ground = weakness but also honesty
is Nietzsche himself the superman???
sometimes he thinks he is, but more like John the Baptists
strong in some ways but weak in others (solitude as a vantage point)
why is perspectivism truer than realism?
perspectivism is a �ve doctrine, coheres better with science
positivist science in GS
atheism, ascetism, will to truth
Nietzsche as the denier of negatives
How in Nietzsche�s
view does tragedy enable human beings to accept the world?
What led to its
demise?
Birth of Tragedy - puts the drive for truth in context
pay attention to Socratism as that which corrodes tragedy
Nietzsche lectures on Philology
Danto
Nehamas
Schacht
Janaway � Willing + nothingness in Schopenhauer
Silk + Stern � Nietzsche on tragedy
