NIETZSCHE’S CRITIQUE OF HISTORICAL REASON

Abstract

In this article, we explore and critically evaluate Nietzsche's ideas concerning history, history-writing and historical education mainly on the basis of a crucial early period text, “On the Advantage and Disadvantage of History for Life”. We argue that Nietzsche's approach to history is indispensable for a proper appreciation of his entire focus on life. Here one can see a critique of historical understanding which sheds considerable light on Nietzsche's later development, as well. Hence we discuss critically the grounds in reference to which Nietzsche attacks certain aspects of the historical consciousness of his age and culture which he considers to be morbid, that is, life-denying. We also treat the remedy he provides, namely an aesthetic approach to history, which stipulates that historian should also be a creative artist and which takes from the idea of great men its point of departure
