Vernon W. Cisney, an expert on Pierre Klossowski's 'Living Currency' and Nietzsche's theory of drives, discusses the influence of Klossowski's work on French thinkers like Deleuze & Guattari and Foucault. They explore Nietzsche's perspective on atheism and value positing, as well as the creativity of values in relation to Christianity and monotheism. The podcast also covers the synthesis of Nietzsche's affective theory with Marx's analysis of capitalism and the challenges of navigating Marxist theory and Freudian concepts in continental philosophy.
