Nietzsche, "On the Utility and Liability of History for Life"

Professor Ellie Anderson, co-host of Overthink philosophy podcast, discusses some key themes from philosophy Friedrich Nietzsche's essay "On the Utility and Liability of History for Life," including Nietzsche's rejection of progress narratives, the five dangers of history for life, and why forgetting is important for living in the present.

This video was created for Professor Anderson's Spring 2021 "Continental Thought" course at Pomona College.
