Philosophy and Historical Thought

While Nietzsche's relationship to D. F. Strauss has generally been approached in terms of Nietzsche's attack on Strauss, this article presents a wider intellectual-historical perspective to show that both are part of the philosophical and theological crisis of post-Hegelianism. A study of their major works Das Leben Jesu and Also sprach Zarathustra reveals striking similarities in the problems of language and representation faced by both thinkers.
