The Unstitute is proud to present the essay 'The Wreckage of Stars: Nietzsche and the Ecstasy of Poetry' by Dr James Luchte - available in English for the first time. It has been included in the permanent archive '[dis]Corporate Bodies'.
The essay artfully argues against the scholastic traditions of Western academia, the creation of the modern 'theoretical man' and the philosophical 'spectator', and explores the challenging alternatives presented in Nietzsche's 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra'.
