continue in the previous entry in this trilogy Friederich. I promise not to bore you too much. This will be the last I'll dedicate (for now) the difficult, brilliant and broken Nietzsche. This time I want to dwell on the approach he made about the scope and limits of the three types of stories that he characterized in 1874 to write his essay "... history to life" and share the final reflection on our view of our own life stories.
Niezsche said: " Life needs the service history and in three aspects belongs to the living being: 1) to the extent that it is an active being and pursues a goal (Monumental History), 2) in extent that preserves and reveres what he has done (History Antiquarian) or 3) to the extent that suffers and has a need to release ( Critical History.) Making a comparison of these species of plants Stories, Nietzsche suggests that each is justified in soil and climate in particular: a) when a man wants to do something great takes over the monumental, b) when someone tries persist in the usual and is revered by the time an antiquarian and c) when someone has a need for freedom from a burden, analyzes, judges, and condemns in the critical history. However, if reckless transplants from one species to another, the story suffers, degenerates and fails to provide service to life. Let us then, carefully, the scope of each of these three species of stories.
Monumental History, according to Friedrich, is one that presents the events of the past as examples worthy of imitation and possible a second time but widespread, matching things that are different, and ignoring the differences in motives and sometimes to the detriment of the cause and as a collection of events that would take effect at all times. And here is where the danger of distortion is present. " Monumental History deceives analogies" says Nietzsche, "with seductive similarities encourages the brave to recklessness and enthusiastic fanaticism." Much worse is when the stories past and want to repeat the selfish monumental talent and inactive or powerless beings who do not notice that the causes of the facts are different. Nietzsche says that often people who advocate hate monumental history talented and powerful of his time and dressed with this view of history take refuge in their opposition to the greatness is born: "You boast of being doctors when actually supplied poison. "
Antiquarian History belongs to those who preserves and reveres the past precisely because it is. All that is small, limited, decrepit and outdated gets its own dignity and virtue of his seniority. No one wants to change even when a reality show rough and even painful. The field of view of the antiquarian is limited, given too much importance to detail and unique things, everything that is old is revered and reaches over to reject and show hostility to all things new. The dealer thus weakens the mind, and not life but retains the mummified, becomes a blind collector of everything that ever existed and thereby causes death the tree of history is useful, gradually dissected from the top to the roots and thus degenerates antiquarian history and show its fallacy.
Critical History is one that analyzes the time spent judging through life. It is life that is happening, who delivered the verdict. And it does so without mercy and may even unfairly. Is that it is live. And the critical history can often be forgotten temporarily suspend and review the past "with a knife at its roots." It is a dangerous process because judges who in turn is the product of generations with errors, aberrations and crimes and therefore difficult to be that anyone who criticizes not want to distort history as denial of the past. But some critics do and do it well and serve life with a liberating contribution contributes to human development.
We saw three species of great history Friederich. Let us now leave aside Nietzsche. I now want to reflect with you readers about their history, looking back on her, that is, about his life. When we look back, we do think in the great moments that should be repeated (and remain as passive spectators watching a theater), or do we dwell on details and the pleasure of the dust of past events that must be passed worship and gather with fear and without moving biography that circle? o surrender our life to a detailed view and a merciless criticism we do with this life we \u200b\u200bknow subjective? You respond, you know.
