Description: "The "Third Humanism" is a term signifying the holistic, national pedagogical movement in reaction to the criticism of modernity in the legacy of Nietzsche. A new meaning for the present and a future "Germanness" was to arise on the basis of a vitalistically understood philhellenism or "Greekness" through the amalgamation of aesthetic, culture-critical and political considerations, conveyed through a humanistic paedeia. Due to its reference to the paradigms of the period around 1800, this "Third Humanism" is part of the reception history of Weimar classicism; due to its provision of possible links to Nazi educational policy it belongs to the mental prehistory of the "Third Reich"."--Publisher's website.
