Nietzsche Alps Course with Rocky Gangle (Trekking)
Nietzsche Alps Course with Rocky Gangle (Trekking)
This course involves a close reading of Friedrich Nietzsche’s Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Core philosophical themes that will be addressed include the role of creativity in philosophy, the question of nihilism, concepts of animality and superhumanity, and the active destruction of the unities of self, world and God.
This is a trekking (hiking) course in which the participant will be walking up to 3 hours per day for 4-5 days in the Alps. The participant agrees to attend at their own risk. GCAS will do everything we can to ensure the safety of all participants, however, the participant acknowledges that this course requires moderate to high-levels of physical fitness in sometimes unpredictable Alpine conditions. As such, unforeseeable circumstances in the weather, terrain, and one’s own health may occur and so the participant agrees to take this course at their own risk.
