Synopsis:

Excerpt from The Complete Works of Friedrich Nietzsche, Vol. 5: The First Complete and Authorised English Translation; Thoughts Out of Season, Part Two

But who are the men that can use history rightly, and for whom it is a help and not a hindrance to life? They are the great men of action and thought, the lonely giants amid the pigmies. To them alone can the record of their great fore bears be a consolation as well as a lesson. In the realm of thought, they are of the type of the ideal philosopher sketched in the second essay. To Nietzsche the only hope of the race lies in the production of the genius, of the man who can bear the burden of the future and not be swamped by the past: he found the personal expression of such a man, for the time being, in Schopenhauer.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a critique of history and its role in shaping the human condition. The author argues that history can be both a useful tool for understanding the past and a dangerous weapon when used to control the present. History, when viewed through the lens of monumental history, can inspire and motivate individuals to great achievements but it can also be used to justify war and oppression. Antiquarian history, on the other hand, focuses on preserving the past for the sake of antiquarian history rather than its relevance to life. Critical history, while necessary for understanding the past, can also be destructive to the present, encouraging an excessive focus on the past at the expense of the present. The author emphasizes the importance of using history to serve life, arguing that the past should be used to inform the present, not to control it. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781334025082_0
