Why is the ‘old world’ suddenly shifting beneath our feet? This course explores how Friedrich Nietzsche’s radical ideas are being used to rewrite the rules of the 21st century. We’ll look behind the headlines to see how the ‘Will to Power’ drives today’s populist leaders and why Silicon Valley’s billionaires are trying to ‘exit’ democracy altogether. Is this a new era of strength, or have we become the ‘monsters’ Nietzsche warned us about? Come and decide for yourself. We may use discussion groups in class.
This course is designed to be interactive. Participants will be arranged into small groups to encourage discussion.
No prior knowledge is required for this course.
PLAESE NOTE THAT THIS COURSE STARTS A WEEK LATER THAN STATED IN THE BROCHURE. IT WILL BEGIN ON TUESDAY 28TH APRIL FOR 4 WEEKS.
