La gran política de Nietzsche.

Colautti, Lautaro

The article analyzes Professor Hugo Drochon's book on Nietzsche's political philosophy, in which he seeks to restore the philosopher's political conceptions in contrast to commentators who suggest that they are subsumed in his metaphysical conceptions. Drochon situates Nietzsche in the spatial and temporal context in which his thinking was produced, mainly in Bismarck's Germany. The author argues that Nietzsche had a theory of the State and analyzes his reading of ancient Greek culture and politics. The book addresses topics such as the Greeks, the State, democracy, the relationship between philosophy and politics, the project of transvaluation, and the notion of Great Politics. Nietzsche's interpretations in relation to democracy and aristocracy are also analyzed, and the role of democracy and aristocracy in Nietzsche's vision of the future of Europe is examined. The author concludes that Nietzsche sought to bring his ideas into the realm of politics and proposed a political strategy for the party of life, highlighting his concern about what kind of elite should lead the future State and how his political theory can contribute to the construction of a new State and a new society.
