Kierkegaard and Nietzsche Paper

We have seen the importance of repetition in history for Hegel, in the sense that earlier stages and carried over into later stages, though in a sublimated form. What is the connection between repetition and history in Kierkegaard and Nietzsche? Consider Kierkegaard’s comments in “The Rotation Method,” and Nietzsche’s in The Advantage and Disadvantage of History for Life, The Genealogy of Morality, and the passages we read on the eternal return. (Don’t try to summarize the entirety of any of these works; rather, focus on the comments relevant to this theme.) Compare and contrast their views, considering such issues as the manner that history serves life and the necessity of both forgetting and remembering, the tension between chance and purposiveness, and their affinity to the romantics. At some point, briefly contrast Nietzsche and Kierkegaard’s conceptions of history with the general conception found in Kant, German Idealism, and Marx.
