Friedrich Nietzsche on Mythology

← Back to Friedrich Nietzsche Profile
β€œWithout myth, however, every culture loses its healthy creative natural power: it is only a horizon encompassed with myth that rounds off to unity a social movement.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
β€œThese philosophers show which dangers Greek culture harbored within itself: Myth as the lazybed of thought—against this, cold abstraction and strict science. Democritus.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
