Description
From the very start of his career, the 19th century German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche was concerned to explain, evaluate, and transform the various ways in which human beings understand and relate to their historical past. In this talk, I will compare his first treatment of this question in the second essay of his Untimely Meditations with his final position in Thus Spoke Zarathustra.
