THEORETICAL PHILOSOPHY

The cours looks at:

a) The theory-praxis nexus.

b) The definition of a philosophical critique (from the Greek word “krinein”, meaning to “separate” or to “discern”, which is the origin of the word “crisis”).

c) The problematic relationship between science (or technology) and philosophy.

The concept of the Übermensch (superman) and the theory of “eternal return”.

Regeneration of the subject: the Nietzschean Übermensch compared with Heideggerian Dasein, Jüngerian Typus and Marxian Gattungswesen.
