Nietzsche and Virtue
Friday October 11 and Saturday October 12th 2013
Friedrich Nietzsche raised potent challenges to traditional views about morality. Many of these challenges took aim at traditional virtues such as justice and charity. Is human happiness compatible with a virtuous life, or does the bad conscience and guilt that accompany morality bring us misery that outweighs its benefits? Nietzsche invites us to reassess our idea of the good human life from a perspective that does not take for granted that virtue is its own reward. In this workshop a team of international Nietzsche scholars will help unravel and assess Nietzsche's claims about virtue and the well-lived human life.
The event is free and open to everyone.
We hope that interested students, philosophers and members of the public will attend. All are welcome.
