    I’m very happy to have found this podcast.

    Just as erudite as my Classics professor from one of England’s top tier universities.

    This has given me a new understanding of the subject. Thank you.

    I love this podcast. I work delivering car parts and stream this through the truck radio. A true oasis in a dull, soulless wasteland. I’m a retired scientist and this is just what I need to keep my mind working. Bravo!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Q&A #14
Q: Is the overman central to Nietzsche's project, and how should we understand its role in his philosophy?
The overman functions as a driving, artistic-ethical ideal that helps people reconstruct values after devaluations of traditional morals; it serves as both a motivational target and a way to understand Nietzsche's project of life- affirmation through self-overcoming, rather than a dogmatic system.
Untimely Reflections #38: Jimmy Burke - Will to Joy
Q: How do you intend to accomplish such a task?
I plan to approach the will to power comprehensively by analyzing its different interpretations and how it influences various aspects of life, despite the challenges of exhaustive research needed for clarity.
Untimely Reflections #38: Jimmy Burke - Will to Joy
Q: What is the way in which introducing Nietzsche's philosophy into cognitive behavioral therapy?
Introducing Nietzsche's philosophy influences cognitive behavioral therapy by highlighting the need to relate thoughts to actions, recognizing that behavior is influenced by environmental factors rather than solely willpower.
Q&A #13
Q: Did you study philosophy in school and considering studying it at a community college, which may not be prestigious, but feels like a good start?
The host acknowledges a positive experience with philosophy classes but asserts more valuable insights can be gained through self-directed reading and personal engagement with the texts.
Q&A #13
Q: In the Gay Science Book 1, you discuss Nietzsche's view that bad people drive human progress through suffering. If the goal is to evolve the human psyche biologically, what might the ethics of such an evolved future society look like?
Nietzsche suggests that evolvement is linked to ongoing conflict and tension, emphasizing that these are essential for progress rather than passivity or suffering itself.
