Aus der Kritik des "historischen Zeitalters" entwickelt Nietzsche das Modell, die Diätetik eines Ausgleichs, einer Balance zwischen Erinnerung, Vorausschau und einer unbelasteten Gegenwärtigkeit. Weiterhin sucht er im historischen Bewußtsein selbst einen Ausgleich zwischen den verschiedenen Haltungen einer ›monumentalischen‹, ›antiquarischen‹ und ›kritischen‹ Art der Historie.

"Warum überhaupt Wahrheit ?"– wenn, wie Nietzsche in diesem Stück aus den ›Nachgelassenen Schriften‹ betont, der Intellekt "als ein Mittel zur Erhaltung des Individuums, (...) seine Hauptkräfte in der Verstellung [entfaltet]". Auch die Sprache als vermeintliche Erfassung der Dinge be- schreibt Nietzsche als vitale Illussion und ein "bewegliches Heer von Metaphern". Nebenher bereitet er hiermit die bahnbrechende Sprachkritik Wittgensteins vor. Aber gleichwohl beschreibt Nietzsche auch einen "Trieb zur Wahrheit".

"Hört mich! Denn ich bin der und der! Verwechselt mich vor allem nicht!"(Friedrich Nietzsche: Ecce Homo)Erst für spätere Generationen hat Nietzsche eine Offenheit, ein wirkliches Interesse und Verständnis erwartet: "Wie dürfte ich mich mit denen verwechseln, für welche heute schon Ohren wachsen", schrieb er und wir fragen: Ist es nun an der Zeit für ein solches Verstehen und bietet das Medium Hörbuch womöglich den Königsweg für das "Wachsen der Ohren", um das Denken Nietzsches mit all seinen fruchtbaren Widersprüchen für das Leben zu gewinnen?

Story
"Dass ich (...) vom "deutschen Wesen" zu fabeln begann (...) heute ist es mir ein unmögliches Buch" - so Nietzsche in seinem "Versuch einer Selbstkritik", dem der "Geburt der Tragödie" 14 Jahre später angefügten Vorwort aus dem Jahr 1886. Und tatsächlich birgt dieses Buch schwer zu ertragende Abschnitte, die sich, als Huldigung an die großen sächsischen Antiromanisten und Antisemiten Martin Luther und Richard Wagner, wie ein Hinweis auf den späteren Zusammenbruch der Menschlichkeit in Deutschland lesen.

"Auch der Mutigste von uns hat nur selten den Mut zu dem, was er eigentlich weiß ..."(Friedrich Nietzsche: Götzendämmerung)Eine heitere Psychologie bedarf des unverstellten Blickes, der "fröhlichen Wissenschaft", der offenen phänomenologischen Schau. Auch wenn man bei einigem in diesem Buch, wie z.B. den Ausführungen über das Bild des Sokrates, zurückschrecken mag, die Einforderung Nietzsches des unbedingt freien Blicks steht - bis heute - spannungsvoll im Raum."Ich mißtraue allen Systematikern und gehe ihnen aus dem Weg. Der Wille zum System ist ein Mangel an Rechtschaffenheit.

"Jenseits von Gut und Böse" ... Dies heißt zum Mindesten nicht "Jenseits von Gut und Schlecht"." (Friedrich Nietzsche: Zur Genealogie der Moral. Erste Abhandlung) "An einer Theorie ist wahrhaft nicht ihr geringster Reiz, dass sie widerlegbar ist: gerade damit zieht sie feinere Köpfe an. Es scheint, dass die hundertfach widerlegte Theorie vom "freien Willen" ihre Fortdauer nur noch diesem Reize verdankt -: immer wieder kommt Jemand und fühlt sich stark genug, sie zu widerlegen."

A lo largo de la conversación, se plantean cuestiones de vital importancia no solo para la vida en sociedad, sino para el conjunto de la filosofía. ¿Qué es el bien? ¿Qué es la realidad? ¿Qué es el conocimiento? ¿Para qué sirve la educación?

Monument de la philosophie stoïcienne, Les Pensées pour moi-même ont été écrites par l'empereur romain Marc Aurèle au IIe siècle, au cours d'un règne tumultueux. Conçu au fil de l'eau comme un journal intime ou une bouteille à la mer, ce texte fait partie de ces viatiques pour l'âme qui ne craignent pas le passage du temps. Au même titre que les Essais de Montaigne ou les Pensées de Pascal, il bâtit les arches d'une méditation sur notre condition humaine, construit un pont vers la connaissance de soi.

El mito de la caverna (también conocida por el nombre de alegoría de la caverna), se considera la más célebre alegoría de la historia de la filosofía junto con la del carro alado. Su importancia se debe tanto a la utilidad de la narración para explicar los aspectos más importantes del pensamiento platónico como a la riqueza de sus sugerencias filosóficas. Se trata de una explicación metafórica, realizada por el filósofo griego Platón al principio del VII libro de la República, sobre la situación en que se encuentra el ser humano respecto del conocimiento.

"Человек – мера всех вещей". Или нет? Об этом спорит Сократ с философами-софистами в "Протагоре", отстаивая благость богов, но не человека и раскрывая оппонентам понятие добродетели, которая есть высшее знание. В сборник включены также сочинения Платона "Феаг", "Менексен", "Эвтидем", "Горгиас", "Менон". Эти сократические произведения имеют форму диалогов, в которых методом вопросов и ответов проясняются проблемы воспитания и принципы образования, знания и невежества, истины и лжи, хаоса и порядка, добра и зла.

Die kleine Schrift von Karl Jaspers weist auf eine oft übersehene Tatsache hin: Das Bekenntnis Friedrich Nietzsches zu Jesus – und das mitten im 'Antichrist', dem 'Fluch auf das Christentum'. Nietzsche zeichnet dabei das Bild eines Menschen, das mit der 'Vertretungssoteriologie' des Christentums nichts mehr zu tun hat. Darüber hinaus stellt er seine Gedanken als ein Angebot dar, das jeder Einzelne, immer wieder neu, zu prüfen hat.

Die APOLOGIE ist die literarische Wiedergabe und Gestaltung der Verteidigungsrede Sokrates vor dem athenischen Gericht im Jahr 399 v.d.Z. durch den philosophischen Schriftsteller Platon. Der betagte Sokrates, deren Schüler Platon war, ist vor dem ›Volksgericht‹ der athenischen Polis, einer Auswahl von 500 Bürgern, der Asebie, der Gotteslästerung und Verführung der Jugend Athens angeklagt. Im Falle der Verurteilung droht ihm die Todesstrafe in der für ihn als athenischen Bürger privilegierten Form der Verabreichung eines Gift-Trankes, eines Schierlings-Bechers.
