NIETZSCHE, KAFKA ŞI PARADIGMA DIONIS
NIETZSCHE, KAFKA AND THE DIONYSIAN PARADIGM

Summary/Abstract: The study seeks to highlight the significant analogies between the works of Friedrich Nietzsche and Franz Kafka and the influence of the writings of the former on the writings of the latter. Thus, in the Nietzschean-Kafkaesque paradigm the fundamental aspect of art is Dionysian. But there are also essential differences in the approaches of the two, especially regarding the existence of God: for Nietzsche, God is dead; for Kafka, God can never die – but neither can he ever live. The birth of tragedy and, in part, Thus Spoke Zarathustra are recognizable as sources of ethics and aesthetic anti-ethics in the Kafkaesque narrative approach.
