Nietzsche and history

Nietzsche a dějiny

Martin Kružík

E-LOGOS, 2008, vol. 2008, issue 1, 13 pages

Abstract: An essay is trying to deal with chosen fragments of Nietzsche's philosophy in a new way. It considers inner bipolarity of philosopher's conception, which comes to coincidence in the end, behind the border of rationality. Text also introduces conception of tragedy as a conjunction of apollonian and dionysian and tries to interpret an eternal return as Nietzsche's conception of history in this border. The one's lines are tragic, as the essense of history is. Another problem mentioned in an essay is bipolarity of philosopher's opinion on Christ: on one hand Christ is a symbol of decadent chrisendom as religio, on the other hand he represents cipher of transcendence. An essay peaks in considering implications of Nietzsche's conception of history in present day, which is characterised by capitalism. Essay presents the threat of consument society and offers the way out in building civil society and tragic democracy.
