Oswald Spengler on Nietzsche - Dictionary of Arguments

Brocker I 115
Nietzsche/Spengler: although Spengler had many predecessors - among others Giambattista Vico - he explicitly referred to only two: Goethe and Nietzsche.
>F. Nietzsche
, >G. Vico.
In the preface to the revision of the first volume of his Downfall(1), he remarked: "From Goethe I have the method, from Nietzsche the questions, and if I should bring my relationship to this into a formula, I may say: I have made an overview out of his outlook"(2).
