Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Friedrich Nietzsche The duel between Nietzsche and civilisation is long since over; and that high poet and calamitous philosopher is now to be judged as he appears in the serene atmosphere of history, which - need it be said? - he infinitely despised. The crowd, the common herd, the multitude - which he also despised - has recorded its verdict with its usual generosity to the dead, and that verdict happens to be an ample revenge. It has dismissed Nietzsche´s ideas in order to praise his images. It has conceded him in literature a brilliant success, and has treated his philosophy as fundamental nonsense of the sort that calls for no response except a shrug of the shoulders. The immoralist who sought to shatter all the Tables of all the Laws, and to achieve a Transvaluation of all Values, ends by filling a page in Die Ernte and other Anthologies for the Young. And in certifying his style to be that of a rare and real master the "crowd" has followed a true instinct. More than Schopenhauer, more even than Goethe, Nietzsche is accounted by the critics of his country to have taught German prose to speak, as Falstaff says, like a man o´ this world. The ungainly sentences, many-jointed as a dragon´s tail, became short, definite, arrowy. "We must ´Mediterraneanise´ German music," he wrote to Peter Gast, and in fact he did indisputably "Mediterraneanise" the style of German literature.
