Ethics Forward | Groundhog Day with Nietzsche and Aristotle | 1-29-19

For Groundhog Day, Ethics Forward sits down with UofL Professor Anne Caldwell to discuss this classic Bill Murray film. We discuss how the film presents Nietzsche's ethics and to some extent also the ethics of Aristotle. Though Nietzsche claimed to be, and is widely regarded as, a 'great immoralist', we see that almost nothing could be further from the truth. It's a doozy!
We discuss several scenes from the film which we cannot reproduce here due to copyright, but which can be found on YouTube:
