Abstract
The last few decades have been marked by a revival of the interest in Friedrich Nietzsche’s views, and not only among philosophers. It is emphasized how accurate was his account of the tendencies that modern culture and civilization display. His prophecy that his name will be associated with the most acute moral crisis in human history seems to be coming true. Existentialists, postmodernists, conservatives, nihilists, skeptics and theorists of the end of history, all refer to him. All those who are not satisfied with the present condition of society, culture and civilization, seek inspiration for their criticism in Nietzsche’s writings.
