  • Download Weeknd Album My Dear Melancholy
    download weeknd album my dear melancholy My Dear Melancholy, Coming off multi-platinum, Grammy-winning success with Starboy and apt placement on the Black Panther soundtrack, Abel Tesfaye shirks candy-coated summertime jams for aggrieved ballads with this six-track EP, issued with little advance notice. Considering its unswerving focus on romantic anguish and self-medication, and a listener's natural inclination to associate the pronouns with Tesfaye's famous exes, the EP might seem extreme, but it retraces familiar shapes in condensed form. Most obviously, "Call Out My Name" resembles "Earned It" with synthesized menace in place of strings and a dash of the distorted terror previously heard on "The Hills." In one verse directed at the object of his unrequited affection, Tesfaye confesses that he wasn't truthful when he said he "didn't feel nothing," then lashes out for being taken at his initial word and treated in kind, "just another pit stop." In that regard, the level of emotional maturity hasn't changed much since the mixtapes. Apart from the sly and sweet 2-step rhythm on "Wasted Times," the sound of the EP is bleary R&B with beats that drag and lurch, suited for Tesfaye's routine swings between self-pity and sexual vanity, chemically enhanced from one extreme to the other. For all his rehashed scenes, Tesfaye can be one of the most affecting vocalists in contemporary pop. When he sings "I got two red pills to take the blues away" in "Privilege," he might as well be slouched in the driver's seat of one of his luxury sports cars, staring into his open palm like he's holding all that he truly values.

    UNIT 3: FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE (1844-1900) Contents 3.0 Objectives 3.1 Introduction 3.2 Life 3.3 Main Works 3.4 Nietzsche’s Philosophy 3.5 Nihilism 3.6 Will to Power 3.7 The Death of God 3.8 The Overman or Superman 3.9 Let Us Sum Up 3.10 Key Words 3.11 Further Readings and References 3.12 Answers to Check Your Progress 3.0 OBJECTIVES The main objective of this Unit is to understand the philosophy of Nietzsche. Though we will not be doing a detailed study of the philosophy of Nietzsche, we will be getting familiar with the salient features of his philosophy. We begin with his life and works and proceed directly to his philosophy. The first section explains his notion of Nihilism, wherein we will explain the general understanding of active nihilism and passive nihilism. The second section elucidates the ‘will to power.’ We shall analyze how it is understood as ‘life’ itself and how it is the essence of every willing being. The third section delineates the ‘death of God.’ We shall see how the announcement of ‘death of God’ was used against Christianity and against the traditional morality. The fourth section enumerates characteristics of the Overman and explains about the concept of Eternal Recurrence. Thus by the end of this Unit you should be able to: • Have a basic understanding about the life, works and the personality of Nietzsche • Figure out the notion of nihilism (active and passive) 1 • Know what is ‘will to power’ • Comprehend the announcement of ‘death of God’ • Specify the characteristics of Overman or Superman and the necessary points regarding Eternal Recurrence.

In Nietzsche's day, to be a philologist meant that one studied ancient languages, texts, history, philosophy, art, and even archeology in an attempt to recapture and understand the meaning of Greece and Rome. Nietzsche was a prize student, first at the University of Bonn and then in Leipzig, and as such he published several papers in scholarly journals… All but one of these essays appeared in the Rheinisches Museum für Philologie which was—and remains today—a respected journal in the field of classical studies.

That is, a sceptic about the existence of the external world, and consequently, as a sceptic about such a world's correspondence to our pers- pectives. Nietzsche presents a threefold conceptualization of 'nihilism' and a twofold one of the 'will to power.' Neutral nihilism is humanity's inescapable condition of having no non-humanly created meanings and values. This state can be interpreted positively as an opportunity to create one's own meanings and values, or negatively as a terrifying incentive to return to dogmatism.

NEW YORK THE MACMILLAN COMPANY 191 ^?^ ^; %.. V. 7 ALL RIGHTS RESftRVED Printed ly Morrison & Gibb Limited, Edinhirgk — INTRODUCTION. When Nietzsche called his book The Dawn ofDay, he was far from giving it a merely fanciful title to attract the attention of that large section of the public which judges books by their titles rather than by their contents. The Dawn of Day represents, figuratively, the dawn of Nietzsche's own philo- sophy. Hitherto he had been considerably influ- enced in his outlook, if not in his actual thoughts, by Schopenhauer, Wagner, and perhaps also Comte. Human,all-too-ffuman,helongs to a period of transi- tion. After his rupture with Bayreuth, Nietzsche is, in both parts of that work, trying to stand on his own legs, and to regain his spiritual freedom ; he is feeling his way to his own philosophy.

  • Nietzsche's Hermeneutic Significance
    Nietzsche's Hermeneutic Significance Alan D. Schrift Purdue University In the past half-century, philosophers on the European continent have, with increasing frequency, characterized their investigations as "hermeneutical." Both traditional metaphysics and traditional episte• mology have appeared to be incapable of solving many of the problems with which they have struggled since the time of Plato. This incapacity is viewed today not as the result of faulty solutions; rather, it comes forth as a consequence of asking the wrong kinds of ques• tions. Heidegger's hermeneutics arose out of his at• tempt to re-think metaphysics and we find contemporary hermeneutics speaking of the move beyond epistemology. What this hermeneutic challenge to traditional philoso• phy points to is an emphasis on interpretation rather than the traditional pursuit of metaphysical and ep- istemological foundations upon which to erect a philo• sophical system. Yet by emphasizing the interpretive nature of perception and knowledge, the proponents of this view face the following dilemma: how to avoid the dogmatic positing of a single correct interpretation without lapsing into an unmitigated relativism which, in rejecting "correctness" as the interpretive telos, is unable to adjudicate between competing interpreta• tions. This dilemma of dogmatism and relativism, I would argue, is the central problem confronting her• meneutics and can be seen to animate the debates between Gadamer and Betti, Gadamer and Habermas, as well a& the current controversy between the Heidegge- rian and deconstructionist approaches to interpreta• tion. Nietzsche's text can perhaps be of assistance in arriving at a solution to this dilemma in two distinct yet interconnected ways.
