It explores the pain, wonder, and meaning of being conscious—how awareness can be both a gift and a curse, and how we can live well within this paradox. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– In this video, we take a look into the life and philosophy of one modern history's most influential philosophers, Friedrich Nietzsche, exploring the early collapse of western faith, nihilism, and ways Nietzsche believed we can and should adapt to find meaning in an increasingly meaningless, subjective world.
