The Philosophy Department cordially invites you to a lecture by Adrian Moore (Oxford) on "Williams, Nietzsche,and the Meaninglessness of Immortality" Friday, 21 October, 5.00 PM, Zrinyi 14, room 412 Abstract: In this paper I consider some of the arguments that Bernard Williams advances in "The Makropolus Case" for the meaninglessness of immortality, and defend them against various counter-arguments. I then turn to Nietzsche, whose views about the eternal return might appear to make him an opponent of Williams. I argue that, properly interpreted, these views in fact make him an ally.
