Episode #212 ... Nietzsche and Critchley on the tragic perspective. (Amor Fati pt. 2)
Manage episode 442855454 series 18864
Today we begin by talking about Nietzsche's concept of life-affirmation. Contrasting it with the renunciative, rational traditions of Western thought. The episode then delves into Greek tragedy through the lens of Simon Critchley's work; making a case for how these ancient plays offer a life-affirming perspective by embracing the ambiguity of human existence.
