- Philosophers, Explained covers major philosophers and texts, especially the great classics. In each episode, Professor Hicks discusses an important work, doing a close reading that lasts 40 minutes to an hour.
Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) was a German philosopher. He wrote mostly in an aphoristic style. He is most famously known for his thoughts on good and evil, master-slave morality, the Uber Mensch, the will to power, ressentiment and the death of God.
In this episode, Dr. Hicks discusses the First Essay in Nietzsche's work, On the Genealogy of Morals(1887), focusing on the nature of good and evil and master and slave moralities.
