Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In the first section of this course we will read texts in which philosophy is understood as an artistic practice. The aim is to clarify the question of what happens with the classic image of thinking, if the act of philosophizing is interpreted as a performative process? Historicly Friedrich Nietzsche’s philosophy takes on an important role for this discourse. Therefore, we will read two texts of his late work - Beyond Good and Evil and the Genealogy of Morals. In these texts, Nietzsche developed his "Prelude to a Philosophy of the Future", which is closely connected with what is referred to in this seminar as "arts-based philosophy": philosophy, as an artistic practice.
