Classics of Moral Philosophy: Nietzsche’s The Genealogy of Morals

Autumn Term 2017, Mondays, 19:00 – 21:00, ten weeks starting 2^nd October

Course Tutor: Sam Fremantle.

This course will undertake a guided reading of Nietzsche’s The Genealogy of Morals, covering either the entirety of the book, or at least the essential parts, depending on the pace the class finds comfortable. Time permitting, we shall go on to look at contemporary perspectives on Nietzsche’s ethics from philosophers such as Alasdair MacIntyre and Bernard Williams (depending on the preferences of the class). This course assumes no prior knowledge of Nietzsche’s Genealogy, or his other work, and is perfect for beginners, though those with prior knowledge should find it useful too.
