La historia y las historias

This essay is a chapter of the book Dall�esilio. La crazione artistica como testimonianza. It explores Nietzsche�s concept of History as developed on his Second Untimely Meditation, Use and Abuse of History for Life (1873). It argues that Nietzsche anticipates prophetically present times: in a negative perspective, by criticizing the abuse of History that leads to a kind of indifferent equality and to a state of saturation of the breaches and breakages in past times. In a positive perspective, by showing that a correct attitude toward the past can lead Thought to think against itself promoting new ways of moving and comunicating, such as works of art. The essay explores, in the last place, the relationship between Nietzsche�s heritage, Literature and Philosophy
