“…In his view this negative portrayal of the world has culminated in the prevailing trend for modern pessimism as inspired by Schopenhauer and replicated by the likes of Edward von Hartmann and Philipp Mainländer (see also GS 357). The association of Romanticism with decadence is later explicitly confirmed in a number of notebook entries, including one from late 1887 where Romanticism is listed as a type of decadence (KSA 13:11 [10], p. 12; see also KSA 13:14 [25]), and in another from early 1888, in which he states, "In fact, the Romantics present a morbid form of decadence [Thatsächlich stellen die Romantiker eine krankhafte décadence-Form vor]" (KSA 13:15[97], p. 463, my translation). 69 Two partial exceptions are Will Dudley, Hegel, Nietzsche, and Philosophy (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2002), 128-45, where the categorization is discernible but not formally stated in his discussion of "The Decadent Failures to Will Freely: Two Types of Sickness," and Huddleston, Nietzsche on the Decadence and Flourishing of Culture, 82-87, who alludes to the distinction in his discussion of "Individual Décadence," by using the example of Socrates as presented in TI.…”
