GER361 11/4/2004 FAZ Artikel: 30.10.2004 ?ber Kerry/Bush und Hegel Herr/Knecht Verhaltnis Nietzsche: -- Menchen wie eine Aufgabe -- man braucht Geschichte f?r unsere Entwicklung als Mensch -- er bewunderte Wagner, der N. adoptierte -- sie sprachen ?ber Schopenhauer -- W war eine Art Held f?r N [Wagner's over the top operas were forerunners to Hollywood.] -- idea that N loved W (but not in a gay way?) -- N broke with W partly because W was anti-Semitic -- N was against all minorities -- either you piss on others or you get pissed on N reacting against the trend towards idolizing the Middle Ages N flipped Marx who flipped Hegel. For N the nobels were the good people. -- he really hates the Christians for being wimps Pulling oneself up by the bootstraps is very N. -- professors didn't teach N in the 1910s but students read N N was trying to figure out power relationships; Fouccault followed on that. Der historische Mensch benutzt die Geschichte f?r die Zunkunft. Der ?berhistorische Mensch focuses too much on a historical event and can't move forward. "Gewissensbiss ist unanst?ndig" N thinks that a strong person can forget. Tieren sind unfrei. Sie sind ehrlich weil sie m?ssen. N thought we should be ?berhistorische but that we cannot. If we were all ?berhistorische then we'd need no government or religion. (Dr S gave tests on the honor system at Rice University) German expressionism in the 1920s is what followed Nietzsche (he was a catalyst) Read das Rheingold for Tuesday.</plaintext><br /></body></html>
