ghost talk

A ghost talk is the idea-historical notion that outstanding figures of the intellectual history communicate over time and space. Friedrich Nietzsche, in his early work, describes this timeless communication as a basic element of a monumental historiography, which he puts in his essay on the usefulness and disadvantage of history for life alongside the antiquarian and critical.

In this way, man as an "active and aspiring person" hopes for an eternal, temporal connection, for what once "was able to extend the concept of man further and to fulfill it more beautifully" must "exist forever." he encouraged him to make new achievements, for the greatness of the past had been possible at any time, and so could be achieved again later. Individuals could form a "kind of bridge over the wild stream of becoming" by living "timelessly-at the same time" in the genial Republic mentioned by Arthur Schopenhauer. A giant "calls the other through the desolate gaps of the times, and undisturbed by wanton, noisy drones, which creeps away among them," the high spirits talk. "

In this developmental phase, Nietzsche represented idealizing genres, which were mainly oriented on Richard Wagner, who had "won the only productive political power in Germany." Only the Dionysian genius, by its very nature, can renew culture. Karl Jaspers has implemented this idea for himself and considered the reception of the history of philosophy as a dialogue or a communication with the "great" philosophers, who opens up a space of philosophizing in which one enters into an inner conversation with them on basic questions , which makes it possible for the thinking of these outstanding thinkers to be adapted and thereby to develop his own thinking.
