Compromise with Revenge

from Night School · host BFM Media

Friedrich Nietzsche is one of Night School’s favourite philosophers – critical of received wisdom, his provocations has forced thinkers to re-examine the very foundations of Western thought. In this episode we examine the suggestion that justice and punishment is a compromise with revenge. And also consider Nietzsche’s proposal that “forgetting” is the only way to address the question of justice. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
