Wow what a ride! This week we're reading some early lectures from the young (28 year old) Nietzsche. He diagnoses many issues in the 19th-century German education system. We also debate the coherence of these early stabs at critique. Enjoy!

This week we're reading Freud's wild essay on mourning and melancholia. Freud's theory is that mourning results from a loss in the world, whereas melancholia results from a loss in the ego. We discuss what that means, as well as some of Freud's more dicey claims. Enjoy!
