Friedrich Nietzsche has been called the most influential and significant philosopher of our times. Yet his works and sayings can be enigmatic . My guest today helps me unpack some of Nietzsche's most famous assertions in his philosophy such as "God is Dead", the value of art, and eternal recurrence, and Zarathustra. His name is Karl Schudt, a long-time student and teacher of Nietzsche at various universities. In this conversation with Karl we talk about the consequences of Nietzsche's statement "God is Dead", what that means, and where values come from. In the true Nietzschean spirit of making one's life worth living, Karl's mission is to help people become more glorious in mind and body. You can find more about him at:
