In the hyper-connected world of 2025, we've gamified desire and turned the search for love into an endless scroll. But what is the true cost of this digital convenience? In this complete four-part series, "The Philosopher's Gaze" dares to ask: What if Friedrich Nietzsche, history's most unflinching critic of modern values, analyzed our dating apps?

Host Dr. Alistair Finch and philosopher Dr. Isabella Rossi take a journey into the digital abyss. They diagnose the dating profile as a marketplace for the timid "herd," expose the modern first date as a sterile Apollonian performance, and condemn ghosting as an act of quiet nihilism. In a special addendum, they turn their gaze to Gen Z, interpreting the one-night stand not as liberation, but as a trivialization of desire that threatens the very future of relationships.

Ultimately, the series confronts us with Nietzsche's most profound concepts—the Will to Power, the Übermensch, and the terrifying test of the Eternal Recurrence—to ask if it's possible to find a life-affirming love in an age of infinite swipes. This is an essential, challenging listen for anyone trying to find meaning in the chaos of modern love.
