“History, forgetfulness and remembrance in Hegel and Nietzsche”. Albeit the evident distance between Hegel´s and Nietzsche´s philosophical projects, there is a shared terrain from which both authors respond to the excesses of modern illustration, which reacted against history and tradition, in the name of a subjective conscious understood as the unconditioned nucleus of reality. This paper wants to contribute to show how close to each other are this so called antagonists, showing that in their doctrines there is an intuition about the fundamental temporality that lies in human existence and experience. From this common point of view, articulated in both cases with the notions of “remembrance” and “forgetfulness”, it is the purpose to generate a living dialogue, however full of tensions, between Hegel and Nietzsche, as critics of Modernity.

Despite the evident distance between Hegel’s and Nietzsche’s philosophical projects, there is a shared terrain from which both authors respond to the excesses of Enlightened modernity, which reacted against history and tradition in the name of a subjective consciousness perceived as the unconditioned nucleus of reality. This paper wants to show how close these alleged antagonists are when it comes to sharing an intuition about the fundamental temporality which underlies existence and human experience. From this common vantage, which is, in both cases, hinged on the notions of “remem-brance” and “forgetfulness”, we strive to generate a vivid –if strained– exchange between Hegel and Nietzsche as critics of modernity.

Pese a la evidente distancia que separa a los proyectos filosóficos de Hegel y Nietzsche se ha venido poniendo en evidencia un terreno compartido desde el cual ambos autores hacen frente común contra los excesos de una modernidad ilustrada que renegó de la historia y de la tradición en nombre de una conciencia subjetiva concebida como el núcleo incondicionado de la realidad. El presente ensayo pretende contribuir a este acercamiento entre estos dos presuntos antagonistas mostrando que en sus doctrinas se alcanza una profunda intelección sobre la temporalidad fundamental que está a la base de la naturaleza esencialmente histórica de la existencia y la experiencia humana. Desde este punto de referencia común, articulado también en ambos casos con ayuda de las nociones de “recuerdo” y “olvido”, se busca generar aquí un diálogo vivo y lleno de tensiones entre Hegel y Niet...
