David Friedrich Strauss on History - Dictionary of Arguments
Pfotenhauer IV 42 History/Strauß, Fr. D./NietzscheVsStrauss/Nietzsche: Nietzsche's anger is inflamed by the unclouded history optimism of a David Friedrich Strauss. He awakens (D. Fr. Strauss 1872(1)) the impression that he was reserved to bring the Theodice efforts of the 18th century to a successful conclusion through modern, scientifically founded optimism of progress. >Progress, >Historiography, >Theodicy. Thesis: following Darwin's example, it can be shown that all events have always been a higher development, that even without a rational creator the world follows a continuously executed overall plan. For in the blind natural phenomena and the worst of coincidences, only the more viable will prevail in the end, which for Strauss also means morally better things. >Evolution, >Darwinism. Pfotenhauer IV 43 NietzscheVsStrauss: In contrast, Nietzsche reminds us of "the nameless sufferings of humanity", which inadvertently scorn such "truly nefarious ways of thinking", (F. Nietzsche(2)) this "shameless philistine optimism" (ibid. p. 187). >Suffering/Nietzsche. 1. D. Fr. Strauss, Der alte und der neue Glaube, 1872, 2nd edition Leipzig, 1904, especially p. 60ff. 2.
