1 Introduction
INTRODUCTION: Nietzsche’s Classical Education and the Influence of Socrates Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844-1900) was born in the small town of Röcken, in the Prussian province of Saxony-Anhalt, which is located in what was, until the fall of the Berlin Wall, known as East Germany. His knowledge of the ancient world, derived from his rigorous education in classical studies, would prove to be an important reference point for several of his future philosophical projects.1 Nietzsche originally began his study of Latin and Greek in 1851, while his more involved and disciplined study of the classics began in 1858 at the famous Pforta boarding school in Naumburg. Upon leaving the Pforta school in 1864 Nietzsche wrote his first philological study, in Latin, entitled “De Theognide Megarensi” (On Theognis of Megara). From 1864 until 1868 Nietzsche studied classics with Otto Jahn and Friedrich Ritschl, who were considered to be among the leading philologists of the second half of the 19th century. Nietzsche's formal study of the classics ended in 1869 when, based upon the recommendation of his mentor, Professor Ritschl, he was offered a position as Professor of Classical Philology at Basel University at the unprecedented age of 24.2 As a result, the University of Leipzig awarded him the doctoral degree, without his ever having to take comprehensive examinations or write a doctoral dissertation. As a scholar, Nietzsche wrote several essays and lectures on Greek rhetoric, Latin grammar, Greek culture, and Greek philosophy, such as “Homer and Classical Philology,” (1869), “Socrates and Tragedy” (1870), “The Greek State” (1871), “Homer’s Contest” (1872), “The Pre-Platonic Philosophers” (1872), “Introduction to the Study of the Platonic Dialogue” 1 For a rigorous defense of this view, see James Porter, Nietzsche and the Philology of the Future (California: Stanford University Press, 2000).

Inquiry and Experience in the Pragmatic Tradition
INQUIRY AND EXPERIENCE IN THE PRAGMATIC TRADITION Prof. Dr. DENNIS M. SENCHUK Abstract: An exploration of some issues raised by Victorino Tejera's recent book, American Modem: The Path Not Taken, this paper considers the extent to which C.S. Peirce's philosophy may be regarded as a direct New World departure from Early Modern European Philosophy. After detailing some problems with upholding any sharp distinction between Cartesian and Peircean metaphilosophies, I conclude that Peirce may be credited, first, with a radical revision of the European Modern conception of experiences, with what might be called a semiotic view of them (as mediated by signs, fraught with inferential processes, and bound up with actions); and, second, with a distinctive, still compelling conception of scientific as well as philosophical inquiry. Turning next to the heir-apparent philosophizing of John Dewey, I note its more obvious affinities to Peirce's thinking but then emphasize that Dewey's own reconception of experience is a still more dramatic departure from the whole European Modern tradition. Experience, Dewey teaches us, is essentially active; it is never entirely passive. This lesson, which I take to be Dewey's single most valuable, philosophically most transformative insight, remains largely unlearnt by contemporary philosophers. I end the paper by suggesting that Dewey's conception of experience affords a formidable challenge to John McDowell's Peirce-friendly outlook in Mind and World. Modern Philosophy is a period or tradition in European thinking and writing that begins with Descartes. The path charted by V. Tejera, in American Modern: The Path Not Taken, has as its progenitor Charles Sanders Peirce, who heads off, some centuries later, in an aggressively anti-Cartesian direction.

Subjectivity, Passion, and Mystical Intuition: Nietzsche’s Early Writing Abstract For Nietzsche, the subject is aesthetically creative, meaning that the subject is a dynamic process of self-transformation that involves not only the subject’s sense of self, but the meaning of their world. In my first chapter, I look at "On Truth and Lying in a Non-Moral Sense" to show how Nietzsche deconstructs rationalist epistemology in order to show that knowledge and meaning are an aesthetic activity. In my second chapter, I look at "On the Uses and Disadvantages of History for Life" to argue that Nietzsche sees creativity as a passionate, sublime overflow, a rupture with the present that artistically reconfigures meaning.

Second Sailing: Alternative Perspectives on Plato
Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2015 Is the Idea of the Good Beyond Being? Plato’s ”epekeina tês ousias” revisited (Republic, 6, 509b8-10) Ferber, Rafael ; Damschen, Gregor Abstract: The article tries to prove that the famous formula ”epekeina tês ousias” (R.509b8) has to be understood in the sense of being beyond being and not only in the sense of being beyond essence. We hereby make three points: first, since pure textual exegesis of 509b8–10 seems to lead toendless controversy, a formal proof for the metaontological interpretation could be helpful to settle the issue; we try to give such a proof. Second, we offer a corollary of the formal proof, showing that self-predication of the form of the Good, or of any form, is not possible, that is: no form of F has the form of F. Third, we apply Spinoza’s distinction between an “ens imaginarium” and a “chimaera” to Plato’s Idea of the Good.
