Zusammenfassung:Friedrich Nietzsche is generally regarded as a severe and hostile critic of historical studies, and it is possible that the expression "historical sickness" was made current through him. This picture of Nietzsche's view of the value of historical studies and methods is almost exclusively based on his early work, the second Untimely Meditation, On the Uses and Disadvantages of History for Life. Here, Brobjer wants to show that this work is not representative of Nietzsche's view of the value of historical studies and methods.
