Journal Articles - New German Critique & Journal of Nietzsche Studies
















Reasoning

After discussing the 1st and 4th chapters of my essay with my tutor and after re-reading the first full draft of my essay myself, I realise I need to include more discussion of the will to power, the Ubermensch, and the eternal recurrence themselves, not just their applications to graphic design. The following articles helped me with this:
  • Nietzsche's "Will to Power": Politics Beyond (Hegelian) Recognition - John H. Smith
  • Nietzsche on Reality as Will to Power: Toward an "Organization-Struggle" Model - Ciano Aydin
  • Can One Really Become a "Free Spirit Par Excellence" or an Ubermensch? - Jacob Golomb
  • Finding the Ubermensch in Nietzsche's Genealogy of Morality - Paul S. Loeb
  • Nietzsche's Greatest Weight - Aaron Ridley

What I Gained

The articles provided me with more points for discussion writing chapters 2, 3 and 4, as well as increasing the strength of the triangulation in my essay.

Potentially useful quotes:



Next Steps

After adding some discussion of some of these points into my essay I'll start structuring the content of my practical work while awaiting feedback on the essay. I also want to re-read a couple of chapters of Thus Spoke Zarathustra again after reading these articles, particularly "Of Self-Overcoming" and "Of the Vision and the Riddle".
