Lucas Murrey (Ph.D. Yale University) has taught at UCLA (Los Angeles) and Yale University (New Haven) and is presently finishing two works Friedrich Nietzsche: The Meaning of Earth and Fin-de-Sicle Germany and the Trauma of the Great War.

Of particular concern to him is the communal potential of seeing (and listening) in ways that transcend the narrowness of a media culture that is driven exclusively by money and its (lethal) socio-political symptoms.
