A festive Nietzsche...

Well, here it is. Merry Christmas from all at Religion, Philosophy & Ethics. Here's hoping you all get lots of books for Christmas, and your New Year's Resolutions are about reading more, thinking more and maybe even starting assignments in good time?

Lewis’s 1,500 word essay was titled: If you had a time machine, would it be wrong to travel back and kill Hitler? This was the most popular title amongst the 80 essays submitted - but Lewis' essay was a clear winner. Unusually for academic staff, we were all in agreement: Well done Lewis!
