Nietzsche, Friedrich: The Use and Abuse of History for Life, v.1, 21 June 2008

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900),
The Use and Abuse of History for Life (1873)
Translated by Ian Johnston.


From Wikipedia:
"On the Use and Abuse of History for Life, (Vom Nutzen und Nachtheil der Historie für das Leben) offers—instead of the prevailing view of "knowledge as an end in itself"—an alternative way of reading history, one where living life becomes the primary concern; along with a description of how this might improve the health of a society. It also introduced an attack against the basic precepts of classic humanism. In this essay, Nietzsche attacks both the historicism of man (the idea that man is created through history) and the idea that one can possibly have an objective concept of man, since a major aspect of man resides in his subjectivity. Nietzsche expands the idea that the essence of man dwells not inside of him, but rather above him."
