“On the benefits and harms of history for life” is one of the early works of the outstanding German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, but it already fully demonstrated the features of his author’s style - paradoxical thinking and aphoristic presentation. The collection also contains the following works: “Twilight idols, or How to philosophize with a hammer”, “On philosophers”, “On truth and lies in an extra-moral sense”, and “Concluding remarks” - memoirs of Friedrich Nietzsche’s sister, Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche. p>The book’s text has been translated from the original language using an artificial intelligence system. In most cases, the translation is accurate and clear, but occasionally there may be incorrect phrasing or individual words left untranslated.
