GOETHE'S FAUST
The Tragedy of Modernity
SPRING 2025
This Spring we will offer a course on Goethe's Faust I and the esoteric philosophy behind it. Learn how Faust tries to escape from the Christian Matrix by his pact with the devil, how he tricks Mephistopheles, what it means to be truly Faustian, who Mephistopheles is, the role of desire in the melodrama of Gretchen, and how to overcome modernity.
