Philosophical Aphorisms: Nietzsche on Dealing with Virtues

Dr. Ellie Anderson and Dr. David Peña-Guzmán, philosophy professors and co-hosts of Overthink podcast, discuss aphorism 160 from Friedrich Nietzsche's “The Gay Science." They close read the aphorism in the context of Nietzsche's critique of Christian morality, and discuss how Nietzsche subverts our expectations about morality and virtue: can one have an excess of virtue? What does Nietzsche mean when he writes: "in dealing with a virtue, too, one can lack dignity and fawn"? Graphics and editing by Aaron Morgan Enjoy our work?
