The Pursuit of Authenticity: Exploring Nietzsche's Philosophy
Listen now
Description
In today’s episode, we explore the life and philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche, the 19th-century thinker who challenged traditional morality and championed individual self-creation. We dive into his core ideas surrounding “the death of God”, the Rise of the Ubermensch, the Will to Power, and his Revaluation of Values. We talk about how to live authentically, according to Nietzsche, and then see how his ideology can be applied to our lives today. There is, however, no advice offered on how to grow an equivalently powerful moustache. Sorry. Share your thoughts on Nietzsche's philosophy on social media using #TheObservingI, or in the comments section below. And let us know what other philosophers you'd like us to explore in future episodes! Much love,David
