Document Summary
Nietzsche history important insofar as it supports life. Balance between forgeing/ not forgeing required for human happiness. Inaccurate (individuals cant be it into a schema quality of detachment is dangerous; person who wasn"t there is supposed to understand history (knowing the past makes you= just: objecive- no such thing as truth. Weight of history is pulling the youth down= suppress the will to live. Living in the past= culture of replicaion= progress can only happen in moments of forgefulness. What does it tell us about today, what we could be, what we are becoming. Kant knowledge is not a good in itself. Good insofar it could be put to the good of society. Trying to igure out what the good is ( moral enlightenment) Immaturity don"t know things for themselves, rely on others (slavery= slaves to the ideas of the moment) Responsible for our morality only if we are free.
