Join Me for a Live Discussion on Nietzsche’s Genealogy of Morals
A three-part Zoom discussion series on the origins of moral values
Last night I was on a Zoom call with 8 or 9 people talking about Karl Popper’s The Open Society, debating the merits of his attack on Plato and whether Plato was right about democracy decaying into tyranny. It was epic.
Now imagine how good it’ll be when we talk about Nietzsche’s essay on the origins of good/bad and good/evil out of Master Morality and Slave Morality. Or about how our moral values aren’t timeless, universal truths given by God or discovered by reason, but merely the victorious ideology of the weak.
Doesn’t that sound like fun?
If so, then join me over on Interintellect on March 15th, where I’ll be hosting a discussion on the first essay of Nietzsche’s On the Genealogy of Morality. It’s the first in a three-part series where we’ll be reading through Nietzsche’s most influential (and readable) work.
Nietzsche lovers, haters, true believers, and devout never-Nietzsches all very welcome.
