The Course deals with the formation of ideology and the commonest illusions of men and women. Nietzsche's book, The Gay Science, will be the starting point of the analysis. Furthermore, the topic will be focused and dealt with in depth, through two books, both written by the teacher: Illusions, which draw on both Eastern and Western philosophies and The Other Nietzsche, dealing with some traits not discussed in secondary literature. Both e-books are available inside the e-learning platform.
