"Might the way to love the world start with the recognition that 'life itself is essentially appropriation, injury, overpowering of what is foreign and weaker'? This was Friedrich Nietzsche's claim. Seeking to enhance one's own power, one's vitality, was his chief good and the world of contending forces his great love amor fati. Nietzsche's love of the world, both of vitality and of fate, was, however, shot through with contempt for the great majority of humanity." Miroslav Volf Thank you for joining us for the third of the 2025 Gifford Lectures at the University of Aberdeen, delivered by Professor Miroslav Volf.
