➤ Nietzsche's philosophy • Mind and nature • Guilt • Free will • Freedom • Value monism • Metaphysics • Consciousness and language • Digital editions of Nietzsche's worksThis podcast, titled "Nietzsche on Mind and Nature," features a variety of keynote speeches and sessions from an international conference held at the University of Oxford. It delves into the intricate intersections of Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy concerning mind, nature, and culture. A recurring theme throughout the podcast is Nietzsche's challenge to traditional Christian and metaphysical views, particularly focusing on concepts like guilt, free will, and moral responsibility.
Episodes explore Nietzsche's critique of the Christian conception of guilt as an exploitative human construct and his rejection of persistent selfhood and metaphysical dualities. The podcast discusses Nietzsche's stance on free will, presenting arguments that suggest Nietzsche's reframing of the language of freedom might not align with a traditional denial of free will. Additionally, the podcast addresses Nietzsche's view on consciousness and language, offering a perspective that suggests a foundational role for signs and interpretation within philosophical understandings of mind and nature.
Another salient topic in this podcast is Nietzsche's metaphysical and value theories, where he posits that determinism is true and reality is fundamentally experiential. There is also a focus on his concept of Value Monism, examining whether everything can be perceived as inherently good while acknowledging pressures that might challenge such positivism.
Moreover, this podcast introduces listeners to the digital scholarly editions of Nietzsche's works, offering insights into ongoing efforts to curate and interpret his corpus online. Collectively, this podcast provides a comprehensive exploration of Nietzsche's thoughts on mind and nature and their implications for contemporary philosophical debates.
