31. Collected Essays on Cultural and Contemporary History 1887–1901: Second Coming of the Same 14 Apr 1900,

See my writing. I regret that Steiner did not understand any of this. Another case can be dealt with here, which shows Steiner in an even worse light.
These words are now under our disposition. The matter is thus settled, one would think. Steiner says: Nietzsche was "mistaken" here.
I don't understand how you can cross out your own scientific past with such cynicism. The motives for Steiner's appearance are perfectly visible.
31. Collected Essays on Cultural and Contemporary History 1887–1901: A Reply to the Above Remarks 14 Apr 1900,

Koegel did nothing more to me than write a letter after he had received the information mentioned in my attack through his sister, which he could not understand as anything other than proof of an intrigue on my part. On the contrary, it must be emphasized that I have never been in a position to undertake any "examination" of Koegel's work.
Hornefer puts the matter simply: this aphorism 70 says: "that morality can only be understood physiologically. All moral judgments are judgments of taste. There is no such thing as healthy and sick taste, it depends on the goal" and he adds to this banal interpretation: "I am at a loss to understand how this can be brought under incorporation of the passions."
Then there will also be an opportunity to uncover the underlying true reasons for the whole campaign of return. Because there are such things.
31. Collected Essays on Cultural and Contemporary History 1887–1901: The So-Called Return of the Same 21 Apr 1900,

I will now show how this work is to be understood from such points of view. I will also show why Nietzsche abandoned the plan to write it.
Förster-Nietzsche had withdrawn from the book trade) will gain the impression that the aphorisms arranged under the individual chapters more or less elaborate and clarify the main train of thought in individual points.
I ask myself in vain why he omits the aphorism in this way (from Koegel's edition), the content of which is in line with the aphorisms that Koegel prints as 49 and 51 and which Horneffer himself recognizes as legitimate. I do not understand why aphorism ı19 should not fall under the draft, since it clearly speaks of incorporated errors.
31. Collected Essays on Cultural and Contemporary History 1887–1901: Knight of Comical Form 04 May 1900,

He falsifies an account of a fact given by me, either because he is unable to understand what I have written or because he deliberately wants to cast a false light on my actions by distorting them.
Seidl is of the opinion that this woman has caught me with such a plan in ambush under all kinds of pretexts. Anyone who does such a thing is acting frivolously. I leave it to Dr. Seidl to argue with Mrs.
But first I must tell Dr. Seidl that he is either incapable of understanding the account I have given (in the "Magazin" article), or that he is deliberately falsifying it.
31. Collected Essays on Cultural and Contemporary History 1887–1901: Letter from Steiner to Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche 27 Jun 1898,

You will certainly believe in my enthusiasm for the great cause of Friedrich Nietzsche, dear madam, and you yourself have often spoken such beautiful words to me about my understanding of his art and his teaching that I was deeply moved. I have now suffered deeply since those unfortunate days, which will remain in the memory of all concerned.
The people of Königsberg were unable to suppress their slight displeasure, but afterwards a few clever people confessed to me that the good people of Königsberg only have the understanding for their Kant to gather every year on his birthday and eat their lunch dishes, which are popular in Königsberg.
May these words of mine show you, madam, that nothing has changed in my nature and that I will always be able to uphold the words that I often said to you in the good, happy hours before the unfortunate events. How can we better honor and understand Friedrich Nietzsche than that we, who believe we have the talents to do so, do our part to spread his ideas?
31. Collected Essays on Cultural and Contemporary History 1887–1901: Battle for the Nietzsche Edition 07 Jul 1900,

Förster-Nietzsche regrettably makes a purely factual treatment of the matters under consideration impossible. The public should accept what Mrs. Förster-Nietzsche says and does. That is why she also had to be informed about her qualities.
Förster-Nietzsche herself would defend herself in a way that corresponds to the character I have outlined. I therefore understand her outrageous attack in No. 29 of the "Zukunft" (of April 21, 1900), and finally I also understand the defence that Dr.
Michael Georg Conrad writes his plate in good faith. He has not the slightest understanding of the whole matter, of the content of the dispute. And because this content is a closed book to him, because he is completely incapable of forming a real judgment, he falls for the marked way out in his childish - basically harmless - manner.
31. Collected Essays on Cultural and Contemporary History 1887–1901: C Andresen The Development of Man 03 Oct 1891,

On 124 pages, the author compiles all the ideas he has come up with about human abilities, branches of culture, God, religion, religious development, the state, education, morality, law and the life of nations. It is understandable that he does not spare us ideas of social reform, for how could he not believe that he knows something about the future if he thinks he can judge all the circumstances of the past?
We do not mean to say that among these ideas there are not some good ones, but alongside them we find sentences which we cannot understand how a man who has grown up in the education of the present can write down, for example, page 73: "Sufferings which someone endures through the sins of his parents, he does not suffer unjustly because he is the flesh and blood of his parents."
31. Collected Essays on Cultural and Contemporary History 1887–1901: E Martig 19 Mar 1892,

It is precisely through this that the right ideal of education will develop in him. He will understand the golden rule of all pedagogy, that every pupil is to be treated individually; he will take pleasure in studying every new human soul.
He will know how to make something out of the child because he knows the germ that is to develop. If he only understands the main threads of the spiritual fabric, his educational activity will be pedantic, mechanical, average, not appropriate to the subtleties of the soul, which he cannot hear.
31. Collected Essays on Cultural and Contemporary History 1887–1901: Reinhold Biese 10 Sep 1892,

Only equipped with these preconditions will he be capable of his true educational task: integrating the individual into the correctly understood total development process of humanity in accordance with the special dispositions inherent in the former.
The author combines his knowledge of recent views from the fields of ethnology, linguistics and national economics with an eye for the ideal areas of human activity, sharpened by a deeper understanding of the spirit of the classical period. The latter is particularly evident in his remarks on art.
31. Collected Essays on Cultural and Contemporary History 1887–1901: Friedrich Kirchner 19 Aug 1893,

We must also give the author credit for having the courage to tell the Suder and other men what he thinks of the value of their plays and writings, towards whom any reasonable judgment almost fades away like the voice of one crying in the wilderness, because it is drowned out by the bluster of those who proclaim themselves modern aesthetes without a trace of understanding of art. All this is to be highly praised. Nevertheless, the book does not seem to me to be pursuing the right purpose as required by the circumstances.
Our universities and secondary schools, with their materialistic view of nature, their systemless accumulation of empirical facts and their aesthetic-less literary history, are no counterweight to the neglected aesthetic undercurrents and the uneducated grandiloquence of the "Greens". The generation that studied Vischer and Carriere or Rosenkranz and Schasler in order to find a clear expression for its dull aesthetic sensibilities has outlived itself. Their teachings brought out what was deep in one's own soul for a light-filled self-understanding. Today, we take the critical fidgeting of a Hermann Bahr seriously, indeed we are forced to condescend to such actions.
