Fellow philosophers! Welcome to another exciting installment of The Will to Power Hour! Today you get two philosophers for the price of one! We’ll be discussing works by both Friedrich Nietzsche and Søren Kierkegaard. We’ll also review the wonderfully unique beer by Dogfish Head Craft Brewery called “Midas Touch.” Hazaa!
Abstract:
Existential angst. Despair. Nausea. These are terms used by existentialist philosophers to describe the problem of life, the problem of finding meaning in a meaningless world. Modern philosophy is replete with solutions to the problem of life, and today we’ll discuss one of those solutions: living aesthetically. What does it mean to live an aesthetic life? Does living such a life really help one overcome despair? Tune in to find out!
