– Nietzsche’s notions of culture
– Nietzsche’s formation of the self
– Foucault’s aesthetics of existence
– Foucault’s advancement and caring for the “self”
– Ethical advancement and transition
This project will determine whether the ideas of both Nietzsche and Foucault can be translated in to today’s contemporary 21st Century world. The lightning pace of technological and cultural advancement present in today’s society can be viewed as an ethical minefield, and therefore I question whether the two philosopher’s concepts of culture and ethical transition can help 21st Century society in any way shape or form.
