Ask A Left Nietzschean: Is Nietzsche's "Amor Fati" a Reactionary or Revolutionary Concept?

Support Donovan's work: https://www.donovanmiyasaki.com/

Today on the show with us we have Donovan Miyasaki, Professor of
Philosophy at Wright State University and author of a two-volume
study, Nietzsche's Immoralism: Politics as First Philosophy and
Politics After Morality: Toward a Nietzschean Left put out by
Palgrave McMillan. This series argues that Nietzsche’s most
important ethical and political commitments are better realized
through a form of radical egalitarianism rather than through the
aristocratic figure imagined by Nietzsche himself. The concepts
in focus are amor fati, the pathos of distance vs. the pathos of
difference, and the will to power.
