After Song From High Mountains by Friedrich Nicha

The final episode of season two. 

We discuss some of my favorite passages from Nietzsche, concerning the feeling of liberation one has upon finally and fully accepting the Nietzschean affirmative philosophy, and what this means for our future. Nietzsche urges us not to interpret him as giving us a definitive way of life to follow, but furthermore does not wish us to seek for a state of finality, rest, or utopia. The great experience of noontide is the perception that one is truly halfway between animal and that which is super-human, and that transformation into something greater is possible: that we can overcome our previous limitations that we believed once were set in stone. The episode concludes with a thank you to the fans, a teaser of what is to come in the podcast, and a reading of Nietzsche's Aftersong for Beyond Good and Evil, "From High Mountains."
