Overview Of Week 6: What We Will Be Reading, Discussing, and Learning

In the sixth and final class session of our course, we will be finishing up our study of the Genealogy of Morals, and wrapping up any loose ends to the class

On Saturday, we will hold our sixth online class session using Zoom. We will be recording the class session, and it will be uploaded for all of you students as an unlisted YouTube video embedded here in our class site (these won't be shared with non-students). After that, I will open the Week 6 Discussion Forum to student comments and questions, so that we can continue the discussion throughout the week

The specific topics we will be working through during this week's class session are:

  • Going back to key themes of the work
  • Deepening our questions through discussion
  • Does Nietzsche offer only criticism here?
  • Prospects for freeing ourselves of reactivity and ressentiment
  • Challenges and problems raised by the work
  • Interpretations of the Genealogy


You will doubtless find it useful to read through at the very least . . . .before our class session, perhaps more than once. You will also likely discover that rereading that portion of the text after participating in or watching the class session will help you develop a deeper understanding of Nietzsche' ideas.
