Features: Humanity is a rope stretched between animals and supermen—a rope hanging over a deep chasm. To go to the other end is dangerous, to stay halfway is dangerous, to look back is also dangerous. To tremble or not to advance is equally dangerous. This book is one of the volumes in "Classics and Interpretations of the Western Tradition," designed to promote a deeper understanding of the great tradition of Western thought among scholars. The selection of topics considers the need to fill many research gaps (including translations of some classic works) and particularly focuses on choosing interpretations by prominent thinkers and dedicated historians of ideas.
