GA 5. Фридрих Ницше. Борец против своего времени

В работе "Фридрих Ницше: Борец против своего времени" Р.Штейнер предстает в достаточно необычной для себя роли - глубокого и вдумчивого историка философии в достаточно традиционном, привычном для европейской культуры смысле. Привлекая множество цитат, указывая на предшествовавшие Ф.Ницше процессы в западноевропейской философии, автор рисует не утративший своей свежести портрет философа, который, к сожалению, остался непонятым и в значительной части непрочитанным до сих пор. Главный...
