Podcast: Professor Kozlowski Lectures
Episode: Reacting to Romanticism: Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, and Kierkegaard
Description: Professor Kozlowski takes on some of the most divisive and dangerous thinkers in the history of the canon - along with some explanation of 19th-century obsessions like Social Darwinism, rampant Naturalism, and their often-racist conclusions. Â We cautiously walk through some of Schopenhauer's and Nietzsche's philosophy, hemmed in by dangers and unwarranted assumptions (there is a lot of swearing), then cool off with the refreshing rationality of Kierkegaard's Works of Love. Â Did we mention the swearing?
