<p>In the conclusion to the daemonic series, we&#39;re looking at Stefan Zweig&#39;s Struggle with the Daemon - specifically, the section on Nietzsche. Particularly helpful for our analysis will be Zweig&#39;s comparison and contrast of Nietzsche with Goethe: both men contain the daemoniacal drive, but whereas Goethe holds it at a distance, Nietzsche gives himself over to it. By following Zweig&#39;s interpretation of Nietzsche&#39;s life and work, we can move from the abstract conception of it to a particular manifestation, and get a sense of the daemonic as it appears in an individual.</p><p><br></p>
