About the lecture: Nietzsche and the Politics of the Earth
Was Nietzsche a proto-fascist? Or should we read him apolitically as an individualistic existentialist? This talk outlines a fresh approach to Nietzsche's political thought, exploring his call for loyalty to the Earth, his critique of the state, and his analysis of temporality.
