In my research, I want to explore the religious aspects of Existentialism and Nietzche's work, particularly in his books: Thus Spoke Zarathustra and The Gay Science.

I propose to research Nietzsche’s connection with Asian thought and decipher how Nietzsche’s philosophies are interwoven with and influenced by traditional Eastern beliefs.

I propose to research Nietzsche's struggle with Christianity. So far, I have two primary sources directly written by Nietzsche and three secondary sources.

I propose to research philosophical aphorism for the introduction to my own (currently untitled) book of aphorisms, of which this assignment will be one tentative chapter. My bibliography will contain sources used in both the introduction (which will mostly be secondary articles by academics) and the chapter itself (which will mostly be primaries by aphorists and philosophers).
