Few intellectuals have ever aroused the passions generated by this 19th century German philosopher and literary scholar. Many-sided, powerful and ambiguous, Nietzsche is reviled as a precursor of German fascism, honored as a visionary prophet of modernism, and interpreted as the harbinger of a disturbing view of human identity which gains added credibility decades after his death. Yet most of us have never had the opportunity to examine his work at length. Now you have the opportunity to study his work with these lectures, which offer a revisionist and bold understanding of the contemporary importance of this philosophical giant whose last years were spent in madness and melancholy.

Nietzsche is widely and correctly regarded as a forerunner to the various postmodern figures such as Derrida and Foucault which dissolve the self into positions within texts, power systems, and discourses. In these lectures, Professor Roderick presents Nietzsche as mythmaker, anti-moralist, artist, and philosopher of power. Arguing that Nietzsche undertook to create a self for himself out of the paradoxes of the human condition, we are invited to join Nietzsche in the search – to “dance with him” – rather than to construct strict arguments, to face the paradoxes and not escape them, in our own attempt to become a self. Roderick examines the challenge of the eternal recurrence, the strange case of Zarathustra, the attack on morality, and the death of God.
