We are beginning our reading of Homage to Catalonia by George Orwell. We are reading the first 4 chapters.

The Friedrich Nietzsche, On the Genealogy of Morality readings continue (translated by Maudemarie Clark and Alan J. Swensen):
Feb. 19th we are reading the third treatise, What Do Ascetic Ideals Mean?

Nietzsche frequently makes mention of his earlier published works. If you have any hopes of passing this class you will have to read this supplementary material! This material is taken from a different translation than the others.
