La concezione nietzscheana della storia tra vita e scienza.

Abstract

The topic of this contribution is Nietzsche’s interpretation of history. I put forth an analysis of Nietzsche’s view on the role history plays in the life of human beings, based on Second Untimely that, according to its title, deals with the use and abuse of history for life. In particular, I dwell on what Nietzsche claims about the first part of this title, that is the use of history for life. I argue that far from denying history a role in the life of human beings, the pragmatist stance of Nietzsche’s view allows him to consider history, intended as memory and past re- molded for the future, from within the life of man, which is complex and varied.
