This seminar will focus on one of most remarkable seers in modern European history: Friedrich Nietzsche. Often received as an angry atheist, Nietzsche was anything but either. His teachings on the Superman, the esoteric nature of evolution, the circular nature of time, the mysterious powers of the will, and his own “high spirituality” fascinated Jung and millions of stunned readers since. Dr. Kripal will draw from both Nietzsche’s writings and Jung’s Zarathustra seminar (a 1,500+ page tome) in this exploration of Nietzsche’s often-misunderstood thinking.
Suggested Reading: Ecce Homo or Thus Spoke Zarathustra, by Friedrich Nietzsche. The instructor will also provide access to his own long essay on Nietzsche.
