This seminar examines
that philosophical approach to the history of philosophy that travels under the
name of “genealogy”. It does so in
terms of selected texts of the tradition’s to major figures: its founder, Friederich
Nietzsche and the presently ubiquitous Michel Foucault. It examines the role that genealogical study
of the history of philosophy has in the philosophical construction of its
practitioners and what they think is truly first and deepest in the history
they so study.
