“The
history of literature is today, more than ever, among difficult
contradictions and for that reason is avoided by many. Genetic growth
and handling of phenomena in their self-existence, dependence on the
environment and imprinting of private, penetration in the race and
fragmentation of the limits, direct approach of works based on the
general human preconditions (Nietzsche is warning us to be careful of
indiscreet intimacy!), keep distance from Greeks as if humans who are
apart of our thinking, these are few of the contrasted views that raise
their claim. We avoid lengthy theoretical discussions, we confess our
belief that we have to do with true oppositions and that each one of the
views that we crossed out may claim little justice for its own good.
Fruitful discussion is possible only with their own presentation” Albin
Lesky, The history of Ancient Greek Literature |
