Скачать или смотреть Allan Bloom lectures on Nietzsche & Nihilism 2

Bloom speaks to a room of high level academics about the great influence and power of Nietzsche, and the necessity of confronting his thought in a serious mode. Bloom is the only contemporary thinker to take seriously Nietzsche's anti-egalitarianism, and to address the problem of the Last Man.

Bloom has, to use the term Harvey Mansfield resurrected, genuine intellectual "manliness", true intransigence to face contemporary vulgar nihilism, popular and academic, both of which are comfortable with easy-going relativism. Rorty and Rawls come to mind, as typical, the so called "flies in the market place."

At the same time we learn from these lectures how to read Nietzsche with intellectual integrity. It makes Nietzsche what he says of himself in Ecce Homo: "I am not a man. I am Dynamite." The greatest obstacle, Bloom shows us, is our moralism, our dogmatic egalitarianism, and everything that carries with it. What could be more relevant than that discussion? What could be more unwelcome and irritating? The subtlety of Bloom's analysis of our situation, and the necessity for understanding the genuine Nietzsche, is not to be missed.
