Produced by Marc D'Hooghe, Charles Franks, Michael Roe and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Thoughts Out of Season, Part II" by Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche is a philosophical work written in the late 19th century. This text consists of two essays, one addressing the "use and abuse of history" and the other titled "Schopenhauer as Educator." The book explores Nietzsche's critiques of historical culture and philosophy while advocating for a more dynamic and life-affirming approach to human existence. The opening of the volume sets the stage for Nietzsche's examination of the historical sense, which he considers a malady that stifles action and vitality. He argues that excessive focus on the past can overwhelm individuals, preventing them from forming a robust connection to the present. Nietzsche contrasts this with the importance of forgetfulness for life and action, suggesting that a certain degree of "unhistorical" living promotes happiness. He uses vivid metaphors, such as comparing humans burdened by history to beasts that live in the moment, to illustrate his point. Overall, this initial segment of the book emphasizes Nietzsche's view that while history is valuable, it should serve life rather than hinder it, setting a foundation for his thoughts on how individuals and cultures might thrive by integrating the past without becoming enslaved to it.
