Zarathustra’s Moral Tyranny: Spectres of Kant, Hegel and Feuerbach
Zarathustra’s Moral Tyranny: Spectres of Kant, Hegel, and Feuerbach by Francesca Cauchi is a philosophical analysis that reshapes our understanding of Nietzsche’s Thus Spoke Zarathustra, often regarded as one of his most enigmatic and richly layered texts. Cauchi provocatively reinterprets Zarathustra not merely as a herald of values opposed to Christianity, but as an advocate…

Approaching Hegel’s Logic, Obliquely: Melville, Moliere, Beckett
Angelica Nuzzo’s Approaching Hegel’s Logic, Obliquely is an audacious philosophical endeavor that stakes its ground on re-reading Hegel’s Logic as a “logic of transformation” and a “logic of action.” This is not a conventional explication of Hegel’s famously opaque work, nor is it content with philosophical abstraction. Instead, Nuzzo seeks to vivify Hegel’s thought by…
