Dr. Michael Platt will be giving a lecture this Friday titled “Nietzsche and Shakespeare: the Most Poetic Philosopher and the Most Philosophic Poet”. Dr. Pratt taught mostly literature, but also philosophy, and politics at  UD  from 1978-1985. Typical of his teaching, is his expressed wish that the question period on Friday continue into supper together in the cafeteria.  Just published, his Mighty Opposites: Machiavelli and Shakespeare Match Wits.
