Two Interpretations of Socrates by Nietzsche and Kierkegaard

Arthur F Sullivan, Fordham University

Abstract

It has often been observed in the history of philosophy how one thinker has influenced another. For instance, Kant frequently admitted his indebtedness to Hume, and Marx could hardly deny that his thinking was permanently affected by the teachings of Hegel. However, when one stops to reflect, it appears that these relationships between thinkers share one or two things in common. Firstly, the two men concerned usually lived in the same period or in roughly the same circumstances.
