Workshop #1 - Nietzche's Beyond Good & Evil Part I*“we add the feelings of delight of successful executive instruments, the useful 'under-wills' or under-souls—indeed, our body is but a social structure composed of many souls—to our feelings of delight as commander”*
**Friedrich Nietzsche - Beyond Good and Evil.**
**(In english!)**
This session is designed as a beginner's workshop, even if you haven't read or don't know Nietzsche's work. And if you do but would like to deepen and share your knowledge, you are also welcomed.
We will focus on a few clusters from just the first two chapters of *Beyond Good and Evil*. Reading, clarifying, and discussing his aphorisms, covering 5 main topics. We split into separated groups and there will be practical work.
The focus will be on some of Nietzsche’s most provocative ideas. From the rejection of simple opposites, to the first appearance of the will to power.
The goal is to understand what Nietzsche is really attacking, where his insights are still up to date, and if and where he may be overstretching.
This time a notebook and pen is recommended.
