Nietzsche’s Meditation on history repeatedly mentions together ‚the foreign and the past’. Nietzsche wonders at the Greeks creating a new culture out of foreign elements, at their ability to ‘organize the chaos’, but what he thinks worth imitating is less their openness than how they avoided ‘to be flooded by the foreign’. His later position is different: he wants to overcome nationalism and sometimes even the European worldview, he praises the ‘Over-national’ and the ‘Over-European’. The Greeks are still a model. Nietzsche’s different statements about their relations to foreign cultures show him freeing himself from his former point of view.

Abstract
Nietzsche’s Meditation on history repeatedly mentions together ‚the foreign and the past’. Nietzsche wonders at the Greeks creating a new culture out of foreign elements, at their ability to ‘organize the chaos’, but what he thinks worth imitating is less their openness than how they avoided ‘to be flooded by the foreign’. His later position is different: he wants to overcome nationalism and sometimes even the European worldview, he praises the ‘Over-national’ and the ‘Over-European’. The Greeks are still a model. Nietzsche’s different statements about their relations to foreign cultures show him freeing himself from his former point of view.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
