  1. On the Advantage and Disadvantage of History for Life

    The Function of History. One of the most critical clarifications to understand in Nietzsche's essay is that his discussion is on history's service to life: "Historical education is wholesome and promising for the future only in the service of a powerful new life-giving influence" (Nietzsche 12). This is the only purpose for which history should be employed; furthermore, this purpose is ...

  4. Friedrich Nietzsche

    Following the first book, Nietzsche continued his efforts to influence the broader direction of German intellectual culture, publishing essays intended for a wide public on David Friedrich Strauss, on the "use of history for life", on Schopenhauer, and on Wagner. These essays are known collectively as the Untimely Meditations.

  5. Nietzsche's Philosophy of History

    As with some of the best of Nietzsche's work, Nietzsche's remarks on history here deftly blend psychology and sociology in the service of critical evaluation. Chapters 5 and 6 are at the heart of the most ambitious part of Jensen's philosophical project, namely to argue that the mature Nietzsche embraces a form of "representational anti-realism ...

  8. Nietzsche's Quarrel with History

    The point of Nietzsche's essay on history is not to downplay the importance of a historical consciousness, but—quite the opposite—to stress the centrality of healthy historical awareness to a culture's integrity and vitality. For that reason, he thought that the task of creating and sustaining such a consciousness was supremely challenging.

  9. Nietzsche's Life and Works

  10. Life, the Unhistorical, the Suprahistorical: Nietzsche on History

    1 Thus he complains, in the opening pages of Human, All Too Human that the 'lack of a historical sense is the congenital defect of all philosophers' and proposes instead a method of 'historical philosophy' (Nietzsche, Citation 1994: sections 1-2).More famously, see also Nietzsche's assertion that previous historians 'lack the historical spirit' in the Genealogy's first essay ...

  11. Nietzsche's Moral and Political Philosophy

    1. The Critique of Morality 1.1 Scope of the Critique: Morality in the Pejorative Sense. Nietzsche is not a critic of all "morality." He explicitly embraces, for example, the idea of a "higher morality" which would inform the lives of "higher men" (Schacht 1983: 466-469), and, in so doing, he employs the same German word — Moral, sometimes Moralität — for both what he ...

  12. (PDF) Nature, History and the Self: Friedrich Nietzsches Untimely

    Nietzsche begins his essay on the uses of history by admitting that he does not believe that there is a fundamental difference by nature between men and animals.3 Men and animals have the same desires; men merely have longer memories. This mere difference in degree produces a qualitative difference in action, however.

    Paper, €35.00, in 'Journal of Nietzsche Studies', v. 45, n. 3, Autumn 2014, pp. 366-369.

I attempt to explicate this notion with recourse to Nietzsche's ideas of "monumental," "antiquarian" and ...

  14. Nietzsche: Culture Warrior or a Sign of the Times?

    In terms of its powerful resonances, Nietzsche's essay on history has been and remains his "most widely influential book for the history of historiography and deserves to be considered alongside the works of Herder, Hegel, Marx, Burckhardt, Rickert, and Dilthey as a classic of 19th century 'Geschichtsphilosophie'" (167). ...

  15. Thinking through Nietzsche's Uses and Abuses, Part One

    This time out I have a few thoughts on Friedrich Nietzsche's "The Uses and Abuses of History for Life," today the most popular of the philosopher's "Untimely Meditations.". Reading the afterward to my translation I noticed that, at the time—1874—the essay hit the market with a dull thud. Nietzsche never much liked the essay at.

  16. Genealogy of Morals Third Essay: Sections 1-10 Summary & Analysis

    Nietzsche's ultimate aim in this essay is to show that moral codes are highly malleable, meaning that they can be changed. For example, prevailing attitudes about power-hungry, violent, and aggressive people as "evil" are a relatively recent phenomenon. Many aspects of such "evil" behavior were historically considered "good."

    Priests, however, use ascetic ideals to exert their power. Nietzsche decides to unpack these ideas a bit more fully.
