If you are interested in attending the Genealogy group, contact Dr. Yunus Tuncel at yunus-AT-sprintmail.com. If you are interested in attending the Birth of Tragedy group, contact Dr. David Kilpatrick at Dkilpatrick-AT-mercy.edu. Thank you for your interest and sorry for the confusion. The Nietzsche Circle TEXTUAL ANALYSIS READING GROUPS The Nietzsche Circle is now offering its first round of textual analysis reading sessions to the public. On its behalf, Dr. Yunus Tuncel will be conducting a session on Nietzsche’s On the Genealogy of Morality: A Polemic, and Dr. David Kilpatrick will be conducting one on The Birth of Tragedy. In an intimate gathering, each group will have recurring meetings to discuss the respective works, focusing on the text through close readings to extract its meaning through careful exegesis. Dr. Tuncel’s group will meet beginning Thursday October 27th (and every other Thursday thereafter) from 12 to 2 PM and Dr. Kilpatrick’s group will meet beginning Wednesday Novmber 30th from 9:00 to 11:00 PM. Yunus Tuncel is one of the founders of the Nietzsche Circle and his doctoral dissertation concerned the principle of agon in Nietzsche’s thought; he teaches philosophy at the New School amongst other institutions and recently finished a book concerning Nietzsche’s critique of morality. David Kilpatrick serves on the board of directors of the Nietzsche Circle and teaches on film, literature, drama and philosophy at Mercy College; he has been writing on Nietzsche, Bataille, Mishima and others and his theater reviews can be found in The Brooklyn Rail. If you are interested in attending Yunus’ session, please contact him at yunus-AT-sprintmail.com, and if you are interested in attending David’s session, please contact him at Dkilpatrick-AT-mercy.edu. They will provide further information, such as where the sessions will be conducted. The sessions are free to members and $5 per session for the general public. For the sessions to function, there must be a minimum of five people; each moderator will determine the maximum and the sessions are first come first serve. If you wish to become a member, membership is $25 for students (with valid id), and $40 for the general public. Members will receive one free ticket to a select Nietzsche Circle event, free textual analysis sessions, discounts on books when available, e-mail announcements, and an electronic copy of essays or interviews before they are posted on our website. Membership is for one year and a form of support for the organization. If you wish to become a member, you can pay in cash at the first textual analysis session you attend; otherwise, please contact the Executive Director of the Nietzsche Circle, Rainer J. Hanshe, at goatvines-AT-hotmail.com for further information. Thank you for your interest and support and please keep in mind our future events, such as our upcoming event at NYU’s Deutsches Haus on Saturday November 19th, “Sculpting In Music: Nietzsche’s Early Thought Experiments. A recital and lecture.” For more information, please write us at goatvines-AT-hotmail.com; a flier with detailed information will be sent out in the near future. “I also realize what Schopenhauer’s doctrine of university wisdom is all about. A completely radical institution for truth is not possible here. Above all, from here nothing really revolutionary can come. Afterward we can become real teachers by levering ourselves with all possible means out of the atmosphere of these times and by becoming not only wiser but also better human beings. Here too I feel the need to be true. And that is another reason why I cannot go on breathing the academic atmosphere much longer. . . . So one day we shall cast off this yoke – for me that is certain. And then we shall create a new Greek academy. . . . Our school for philosophers is certainly not a historical reminiscence or an arbitrary whim – is it not an urgent inner need which sets us on this course? It seems that our plan we made as students, our journey together, is coming back again in a new, symbolically larger form” (Nietzsche, December 12th, 1870). _______________________________________________ List address: nietzsche-AT-driftline.org Admin interface: http://lists.driftline.org/listinfo.cgi/nietzsche-driftline.org
