Nietzsche's Second Untimely Consideration is a violent polemic address against the society of his time, where he sees an era and culture dedicated to "historical illness." "We live in an era in danger of death for the major reason that it idolaters history. To get rid of this cult is to regain the pressing demand of life and to give it right, is to plead again for an artistic conception of life. Analysing the history of a triple point of view – monumental, antiquarian or critical – Nietzsche's reflection outlines and unfolds the major themes of the work to come: the fight against the "disease of civilization", nihilism, self-content, the demand to create new values... Directed against the German society of 1875, this true 19th century spirit trial did not lose its relevance. Is not history, information, media coverage also the disease of our time?
