Module content and teaching
Principal aims
The aim of this course is to provide an advanced introduction to Nietzsche and a rich appreciation of aspects of his intellectual development. To aid the inquiry the course draws upon the best recent and current Anglo-American research on Nietzsche as well as making use of seminal texts from within the history of Nietzsche-reception.
Principal learning outcomes
By the end of the course students should have a sound and scholarly understanding of Nietzsche’s intellectual development during his middle period (1878-82), a rich appreciation of the texts of this period, and an appreciation of its seminal importance for subsequent developments in philosophy; they should also be able to discuss incisively and critically his key concepts and ideas both in seminar discussions and written work.
Timetabled teaching activities
Teaching is by means of a mixture of formal lectures and seminar discussions.
