Fall 2016

In addition to the 13 Nietzsche 13/13 seminars, we are delighted to present several extraordinary lectures and workshops to complement the conversation. These events are also open to the public. The first is: Alain Badiou, École normale supérieure, with Bruno Bosteels, Columbia University Lectures on Nietzsche Please click here for details and more information.

At the end of her life, Hannah Arendt was writing a series of volumes on The Life of the Mind, the second of which engaged the thought of Nietzsche. This session will explore her engagement With Nietzsche. With Seyla Benhabib, Simona Forti, Ayten Gundogdu, and Linda Zerilli. 

This is the fourth seminar in the Nietzsche 13/13 series. Perhaps more than many other critical theorists, Gilles Deleuze’s thought was highly influenced by Nietzsche, and Deleuze’s name is inextricably linked to Nietzsche’s through his two signature books. In this session, we will focus on these two important works. 

This is the third seminar in the Nietzsche 13/13 seminar series. 3/13: Maurice Blanchot. Maurice Blanchot was heavily influenced by Nietzsche early on, and wrote several works that directly and indirectly engaged Nietzsche’s thought. Like Bataille, Blanchot took a holistic approach and often focused on the fragments. This session will explore his relation to Nietzsche and how it influenced subsequent critical thinkers.

This is the second seminar in the Nietzsche 13/13 seminar series. 2/13: Georges Bataille.

This is the first seminar in the Nietzsche 13/13 seminar series. 1/13: Heidegger. During the years 1936 to 1939, Martin Heidegger delivered a series of influential lectures on Nietzsche that would be published in a multi-volume book called, simply, Nietzsche. Despite being delivered at the time of his Nazi allegiance, the lectures nevertheless transcend fascism to develop a wide-ranging interpretation of Nietzsche’s philosophical contributions. They have been formative in subsequent readings of Nietzsche.
