The principle must always rule that ideas are not born of other ideas, philosophies of other philosophies; they are a continually renewed of real historical development. The unity of history (what the idealists call unity of the spirit) is not a presupposition, but a continuously developing process.

About This Quote

Nietzsche was a German philosopher who believed that we should follow the ideas of the time and not those of philosophers such as Plato. Nietzsche believed that we should not blindly accept past philosophies as the current times may be different. Nietzsche also believed that we should make decisions based on our personal views and not those of other people.
