Since Fresh Examples And Proofs Could Always Be Found Of The Alleged Relation Between Guilt And Punishment: If You Behave In Such And Such A Way, It Will Go Badly With You.

Nietzsche Inveighs Against Every Sort Of Historical Optimism; But He Energetically Repudiates The Ordinary Pessimism, Which Is The Result Of Degenerate Or Enfeebled Instincts Of Decadence. He Preaches With Youthful Enthusiasm The Triumph Of A Tragic Culture, Introduced By An Intrepid Rising Generation, In Which The Spirit Of Ancient Greece Might Be Born Again. He Rejects The Pessimism Of Schopenhauer, For He Already Abhors All Renunciation; But He Seeks A Pessimism Of Healthiness, One Derived From Strength, From Exuberant Power, And He Believes He Has Found It In The Greeks.

That Man Is Thought Best Fitted To Depict A Period Of The Past, Who Is Not In The Least Affected By That Period. But Only He Who Has A Share In Building Up The Future Can Grasp What The Past Has Been, And Only When Transformed Into A Work Of Art Can History Arouse Or Even Sustain Instincts.
