«Consideraciones intempestivas, 1. David Strauss, el confesor y el escritor» is the philosophical essay by Friedrich Nietzsche, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (334 pages, in Spanish).
In this work, Nietzsche criticises the German «cultismo» of his time, embodied in the success of «La vieja y la nueva fe», by David Strauss. The author considers that triumph a symptom of cultural mediocrity and confronts it to make way for his own ideals of renewal. The work caused a great scandal involving numerous personalities of the era.
This volume opens Nietzsche's series of «Consideraciones intempestivas» and also includes posthumous fragments.
Recommended for readers interested in nineteenth-century philosophy and in Nietzsche's work.
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was a German philosopher and writer who started his career as a classical philologist and turned to philosophy early in his academic career. In 1869, at age 24, he was appointed Professor of Classical Philology at the University of Basel. Plagued by health problems for most of his life, he resigned from the university in 1879. He afterward lived as an independent writer, spending much of his life in relative solitude and financial insecurity while moving between Switzerland, Italy, and southern France in search of climates that might alleviate his condition, and in the following decade, he completed much of his core writing. In 1889, aged 44, he suffered a neurological collapse, and thereafter a complete loss of his mental faculties, with paralysis and vascular dementia; he lived out his remaining 11 years, first under the care of his mother, and later his sister, until his death. His works and his philosophy have fostered not only extensive scholarship but also much popular interest.
