The German Identity, the German Querelle and the Ideal State: A Fresh Look at Schiller’s Fragment “Deutsche Größe”

Maike Oergel¹

Abstract: The essay (re)locates Schiller's controversial fragment "Deutsche Größe", and the German identity it presents, within the contemporary intellectual context (and within Schiller's own work) by relating it to late eighteenth-century German discussions regarding ancient and modern culture. Crucial parallels emerge between the German identity presented and Schiller's own cultural and aesthetic theories developed in Über naïve und sentimentalische Dichtung and the Ästhetische Briefe.

Nietzsche’s Aesthetic Approach to the Political. An Essay on BGE VIII. This article aims to present the aesthetic basis of Nietzsche’s dealings with politics in BGE VIII. In order to fulfill this task, the present text is divided into two parts: in the first part, I discuss how politics appears in BGE VIII as linked to a dispute over the concepts of “Völker” and “Vaterländer.” Understanding the meaning of these concepts requires an analysis of what I call the Nationenfrage. This question characterizes a theoretical effort in Europe to establish an authentic sense of personal and social identity. The contextualization of this theme is decisive for the second part of this article, in which I present Nietzsche’s strategies for carrying forth the debate concerning political phenomena, figures and events, based on purely aesthetic coordinates. The guiding theme will be the political phenomenon of democracy, which Nietzsche approaches both in BGE VIII and GS V. However, my goal is to make clear that Nietzsche’s interest in politics is conditioned by his interest in showing the aesthetic procedure of his philosophizing.
