Title: Can Lawyers Be Cured?: Nietzsche's Theory of Eternal Recurrence and the Lacanian Death Drive
Abstract: Perhaps Nietzsche's strangest idea is "eternal recurrence." Indeed, it is so strange that, despite its centrality in his works, some of Nietzsche's modern interpreters - most notably Alexander Nehemas - distance themselves from a literal interpretation of the doctrine. Rather than a cosmology, it becomes a mere thought experiment. This may be necessary if one wants to defend Nietzscheanism as single coherent philosophy. It does, however, fly in the face of much of Nietzsche's language.
