Nietzsche and Liberalism

Nietzsche i liberalizam

Author(s): Vesna R. Stanković Pejnović / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 01/129/2013

Keywords: Friedrich Nietzsche; liberalism; individualism; freedom; equality

Although liberalism and Nietzsche have person in their understanding of the world, there are different points of view. Contrary to liberalism, which connects the idea of human progress with the constant evolution of society, Nietzsche is pointing out that every existence and every process are struggle. Only through struggle is possible to create individuality, uniqueness, and freedom. In opposition to liberalism, Nietzsche thinks that every person, every human being must incline to overcome self. Liberal faith in progress emphasizes the priority of rights grounded in the concepts of individuals as rational being, individual freedom as condition of progress, and tendency toward harmonic order, while Nietzsche sees instincts and activities as preconditions of self-understanding. Ideology of equality, according to Nietzsche, is morality of the herd. For Nietzsche, the belief in free will represents the original mistake because we must aspire to become what we already are: new, unique self-creators who impose laws to themselves – every person creates his/her own virtue, own categorical imperative. For liberalism, freedom is the possibility of acting in accordance with the moral law, while for Nietzsche it represents the acting itself. Liberalism sees the individual as an autonomy person who acts alongside with the universal laws of the reason, according to universal laws of reason. On the other side, Nietzsche arguments for the autonomous person who lives according his/her own rights. Nietzsche claims that not a single living organism is an individual, but the unity of power, forces, mixture of Dionysian and Apollonian which lacks the unique nature.

TRANSATLANTIC NIETZSCHE

TRANSATLANTIC NIETZSCHE

Author(s): Gabriel C. Gherasim / Language(s): English / Issue: 11/2014

Keywords: Nietzsche, Danto, psychologism, perspectivism, nihilism

The aim of the present paper is rather modest in surveying the complicated intellectual routes linking the European Nietzsche and the American cultural and intellectual traditions, nor it explains why Nietzsche was so popular in the United States; instead, by commenting upon one of the most accurate and unbiased views on his philosophy, this study aims at explaining what themes were pervasively seductive for American philosophers and cultural critics, contributing in this way to a superior understanding of the relevant connections between Nietzsche and his American followers, be they sympathizers or detractors

NIETZSCHE, WAGNER, AND THE "JEWISH QUESTION"

NIETZSCHE, WAGNER, AND THE "JEWISH QUESTION"

Author(s): Robert S. Wistrich / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2008

Keywords: anti-semitism; Nietzsche; prejudice; Jews; Christianity

The young Friedrich Nietzsche was not immune to cultural prejudice against Jews which was part of his general outlook during the period that he came under the spell of Richard Wagner. Aspects of this cultural antisemitism can still be found in Nietzsche’s tirades against Judeo-Christianity which would later influence Fascists and Nazis. However, after breaking with Wagner in 1878, Nietzsche emerged as the most anti-antisemitic of all the modern German philosophers. This essay explores the nature and reasons for Nietzsche’s vehement opposition to antisemitism.

Nietzsche on Reason

Nietzsche on Reason

Author(s): Welsch Wolfgang / Language(s): English / Issue: 02/2009

Keywords: Reason; Nietzsche; knowledge; philosophy; “restored reason”

Nietzsche is thought of as someone who destroys reason. As such he has been attacked by authors ranging from Lukács through to Habermas. In the following I would like to introduce his attempt at a restoration of reason. I will provide a short reconstruction of Nietzsche’s theses on reason. First of all, I will set out Nietzsche’s pragmatic reinterpretation of reason, secondly the relationship of reason to different types of life and then, thirdly, the relation between reason and passion. Following this, I will move on to Nietzsche’s “restored reason”.

Nietzsche’s Critique of the Subject

Nietzsche’s Critique of the Subject

Author(s): Saulius Geniušas / Language(s): English / Issue: 4/2008

Keywords: body; ego; Nietzsche; multiplicity; self; subject.

The following analysis has a threefold task. First, it aims to identify the central aspects of Nietzsche’s critique of the subject. Secondly, it aims to identify the main function that this critique serves. And thirdly, it aims to interpret the subject Nietzsche defends and endorses in terms of a bodily multiplicity of drives, instincts and needs. The paper argues against the standard interpretation of the problematic of the subject in Nietzsche, according to which Nietzsche abandons the subjectivistic approach in favor of an entirely different explanatory framework. The paper shows that far from supporting an atomistic or an anarchic view of the subject, Nietzsche’s narrative endorses a notion of subjectivity that entails a double affirmation: the affirmation of the ruling drive of the body and of the style of the subject’s becoming. In virtue of such a double affirmation, the self discloses itself as both the text and its interpretation.

Nietzsche, Souriau, dramatologija

Author(s): Ante Armanini / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 01+03/2011

Jezik postaje u javnom smislu posve sporna stvar. Jezik se ispričava zbog jezika, postaje sumnjiva roba, problematičan kao {to jest i uvijek pod kontrolom onog što Zuppa zove naprimjer »lingvistički imperijalizam«.

Marxism and Nietzsche

Marksizam i Nietzsche

Author(s): Narcis Popov / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 02/1966

Velika je historijska zasluga Friedricha Nietzschea što je izgradio moralne koncepcije koje su dijametralno suprotne kršćanskim. Dok Isus propovijeda vjeru u boga, poniznost, odricanje od životnih radosti, Nietzsche, naprotiv, izriče oštre riječi protiv boga i klera, protiv religioznog morala koji podjarmljuje ljudsko biće, kao i protiv očaja i boli u životu. Ako pomislimo na golemi ideološki utjecaj koji je kršćanska ideologija vršila stoljećima, jasno nam je kakva je moralna i duhovna maga bila potrebna da se netko usudi stvoriti i formulirati moralne zakone suprotne od onih koje je propovijedao Isus.

Nietzsche and Kafka

Nietzsche i Kafka

Author(s): Peter Sloterdijk / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 3-4/2012

S obzirom na začetke Kafkinog traganja nameće se pretpostavka da je on Nietzscheov impuls prihvatio još u mladosti i toliko ga snažno unio u dušu da je zaboravio porijeklo njegova postavljanja pitanja – zbog čega u Kafkinom djelu praktički nigdje nema eksplicitnog pozivanja na pisca Genealogije morala. Taj je podstrek on nastavio razvijati u pravcu uznapredovalog spuštanja herojskog tona, uz istovremeno pojačavanje smisla za univerzalnu asketsku i akrobatsku dimenziju ljudske egzistencije.

Benjamin and Nietzsche

Benjamin i Nietzsche

Author(s): Helmut Pfotenhauer / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 21/2016

U svojoj knjizi Podrijetlo njemačke žalobne igre [Ursprung des deutschen Trauerspiels] Benjamin govori o Nietzscheu i to na mjestu na kojem obrađuje razliku između grčke tragedije i kasnije drame. Poziva se ponajprije na Volkeltovu Estetiku tragičnoga [Asthetik des Tragischen] kao primjer, prema Benjaminu, ≫tako posve zaludna nastojanja da se tragično predoči kao općeljudski sadržaj≪.

Nietzsche on the Metaphysical Problem of Truth

Nietzsche on the Metaphysical Problem of Truth

Author(s): Tran Phuoc Phuong Thao,Sumanta Chakraborty / Language(s): English / Issue: 14/2016

Keywords: Truth; thing-in-itself; immediate certainty; metaphysical problem; life; suffering; psychology; becoming

Truth plays an essential part in traditional metaphysics; however, what is truth? Can this truth be found? These inquiries are the inner quests for Nietzsche to revaluate traditional values in which truth, as the highest value, is deserved to be searched for. Searching for truth and denying untruth in the transient world causes the prejudices of opposite values, which creates the dilemma between truth and untruth, thing-in-itself and phenomenon, I and thought. Nietzsche repudiates Kant’s thing-in-itself, immediate certainty in Descartes’ cogito ergo sum since there is no such truth in the stream of inner experience. This truth, according to Nietzsche, has nothing to do with life, which is the universal flux of transient experience. Life is more important than anything else and one has to struggle for the preservation and growth of life in any precarious condition. It is life that presupposes knowledge, and knowledge as such is kind of self-knowledge, “psychological observation”, “reflection on human all too human” to “alleviate the burden of living” (Nietzsche, 1878/2005, p. 31). This inner phenomenon is in universal flux, as the biological and internal process of becoming, in which the natural drive manifests itself as the battle of the wills incessantly overcoming one another. Nietzsche traces the cause of this metaphysical problem to the deception of an inner world and demonstrates that not only there is no found truth, but also that searching for truth will degenerate the growth of life. There is truth only in life, that is the overcoming of suffering and terror during the process of becoming, striving toward happiness and preservation of life.

NIETZSCHE AND CHRISTIANITY

NIETZSCHE AND CHRISTIANITY

Author(s): Anna Szklarska / Language(s): English / Issue: 29/2015

Keywords: Nietzsche; Christianity; Zarathustra; affirmation; selfsurpassing;

The article presents connections between philosophy of Nietzsche and the Christian tradition. Author's considerations are not restricted to how Nietzsche assessed Christianity and what he thought of it, but rather: did he reason aptly, did he grasp it correctly. It is a fact that Nietzsche fights with Christianity, which does not prevent him from internalizing some Christian themes in spite of having a very superficial and incomplete picture of it. There are unquestionable differences in both doctrines such as the relationship to the issues of truth, compassion, transcendence, mercy and eternity. Nevertheless they share a large number of common elements: praise for authenticity, creativity and freedom, the ethics of dignity, the postulate of selfformation, appreciation of suffering, rejection of revenge and everything that is small and false, and finally, discipline of the will craving repetition as a confirmation of self, faithfulness to self.

RUSSIAN NIETZSCHE

ROSYJSKI NIETZSCHE

Author(s): Michał Kruszelnicki / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 52/2021

Keywords: Friedrich Nietzsche; Władimir Sołowjow;

Dla zachodniego ucha wypowiedz Władimira Śołowjowa o Nietzschem i nadczłowieku moze brzmiec osobliwie, a wręcz zgrzytliwie. Wydaje się, ze rosyjski mysliciel w ogole nie chwyta filozofii Nietzschego, ze tylko uz ywa jej swobodnie w celu promowania własnej, religijnej koncepcji nadczłowieka, ktorą skądinąd opracowywał jeszcze zanim autor Zaratustry wystąpił z pierwszymi definicjami. Zrazu obojętny, następnie zaintrygowany (gło wnie z powodu kontrowersji woko ł pism niemieckiego filozofa, znanych mu raczej z drugiej ręki), a wreszcie wrogo nastawiony do mysli Nietzschego, Śołowjow — niemający w zwyczaju cytowac konkretnych fragmentow z dzieł swojego adwersarza — odnosił się tylko do jej najogo lniejszego przesłania, ktore wykorzystywał na potrzeby swoich jednoznacznie konfesyjnych pozycji.

Nietzsche and metaphor

Nietzsche i metafora

Author(s): Sarah Kofman / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 1-2/2021

Keywords: Nietzsche; metaphor; tragedy;

Još od Rođenja tragedije može se u Nietzschea pronaći teorija poopćene metafore, koja počiva na gubitku »istinskosti« [propre], i to u dva smisla. S jedne strane, nema metafore bez ogoljenja individualnosti, bez maskerade, bez metamorfoze. Da bi se moglo prenositi, mora biti moguće prenositi, moći svladati granice individualnosti; prijeko je potrebno da isto sudjeluje u drugom, da bude drugo. Na toj razini metafora je zasnovana na ontološkom jedinstvu života, figura kojeg je Dioniz. No ako metafora postoji, to jedinstvo je svagda već raskomadano i ne može biti rekonstituirano, osim simbolički preneseno u umjetnost. Time metafora omogućuje s onu stranu individualnog odvajanja - simboliziranog u komadanju Dioniza - rekonstituciju izvornog jedinstva svih bića, simboliziranih uskrsnućem boga.
