À propos de cet audio

Morrison offers an illuminating study of two linked traditions that have figured prominently in 20th-century thought: Buddhism and the philosophy of Nietzsche. 

Nietzsche admired Buddhism, but saw it as a dangerously nihilistic religion; he forged his own affirmative philosophy in reaction against the nihilism that he feared would overwhelm Europe. Morrison shows that Nietzsche's influential view of Buddhism was mistaken, and that far from being nihilistic, it has notable and perhaps surprising affinities with Nietzsche's own project of the transvaluation of all values. 

Robert Morrison is both a trained philosopher and a practising Buddhist.

Morrison makes the bold claim that Nietzsche's will to power and self overcoming have exact analogues in Buddhist practice. He also offers a good analysis of the place of Buddhism in Nietzsche's thought and the sources of his ideas. Be prepared for very technical discussions of Buddhist philosophy. Because Nietzsche was only interested in the therevada tradition, Morrison confines his analysis to that school. I think Nietzsche's ideas have more resonance with the Mahayana tradition and I would have liked to have seen Morrison venture into this territory.

Fascinating and thorough
