Horst Hutter Lecture, "Friendship from Greeks to Nietzsche," New York, April 30, 2005
"Agonistic Friendship from the Ancient Greeks to Nietzsche"
Horst Hutter, New York, April 30, 2005
Friendship is universal but expresses itself variably in different cultural settings. Given our mobility, solitude, and uncertainty in advanced industrial societies, friendship is very different than the model offered to us by Plato and Aristotle. Dr. Hutter will explore Nietzsche's ideas of having 'beautiful enemies' and 'stellar friends' and how to avoid defective friendships, as well as negotiating the drives to serve some public good on the one hand and natural egoisms on the other.
Horst Hutter will be in New York City at the
Lower East Side Girls Club
51 East 1st Street @ 1st Avenue
6pm * Saturday April 30, 2005 * free
