Listen "25. On his master's business - Nietzsche, masters, and slaves"
Episode Synopsis
"Message the show"As Nietzsche writes, "he who cannot obey himself, will be commanded". The ability to obey oneself - to have an internal locus of authority rather than an external one - this is how, in our era of purported equality, a master is distinguished from a slave.But what about you? Who or what do you obey? And, in obeying, are you compromising yourself, or are you maintaining your own integrity, your own autonomy, your own authority?This episode in an extra recording from the Will to Joy library on Patreon.
