FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE AND THE DECLINE OF POSTMODERNISM
Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Social Science and Humanities - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
The emergence of postmodernism in the philosophy of the 20th century changed the evaluation of Friedrich Nietzsche fundamentally. His voluntarism – subjectivism,perspectivism and moral nihilism– appealed to a philosophy that rejected the analytical approach after the Frege-Russell legacy. Living in a Saussure world of webs of words, only de-construction could harness theoretical chaos. However, Nietzsche’s theory of so- cial stratification sits very badly with postmodernism. Maybe the new humanitarianism in the making will reduce the admi- ration for him?
