Neitzsche and Nihilism-- Yikes!

Well, we mapped out that old argument about good and evil and discussed it-- it is digested, at least through the first of how ever many stomachs scholars have-- I believe cows have only four chambers of digestion--
Here is the essay to read and the map to create: Good and Evil Revisited, by Frederich Nietzsche
We are working up to reading Heart of Darkness by getting our first impressoin about impressionists.  Here is a link to some excellent information: Impressionist Writers
Here is a link to a really wonderful presentation on the impressionists in general-- the artists and how/why it all got to be about "impressions" rather than "objective reality."
For the break, we will be reading "Hollow Men" by T.S. Eliot and digesting a few quotes of his own.: Hollow Men and commentary chart
 Be sure to smell some flowers and eat something sweet as we proceed into these dark waters--its not a pretty picture, I'm afraid.
Happy Weekend!
