SVAGDA SAVREMENI NIČE
EVER MODERN NIETZSCHE

Summary/Abstract: The essay consists of 30 fragments in which the author expressed the following ideas: (1) Nietzsche is a remarkable philosopher distinguished from all others in the history of philosophy. Therefore, writing about Nietzsche requires a different manner than the one that would be used to describe other thinkers. Nietzsche cannot be observed through logic and systematics of academic philosophy, e. g. as a philosopher who came to certain conclusions which can be identified in studying his work, classified and benumbed, located in the history of philosophy. Nietzsche transforms his readers and interpreters, inspires them with exaltation and makes them the centres fo active forces. (2) Nietzsche was not an adversary of religion as such or the transcendental world. He was only against monoteism and against separating transcendental world from life. (3) Nietzsche's idea about the superman was not an idea about the man of the future who would be much more perfect than the man of the present; it was only an idea to make the contemporary man more efficacious. (4) Nietzsche's critique of christian morality, democracy and socialism should not be taken literary. That is only his "literature" and "philosophy" that sounds apocalyptic having the power to enchant people. (5) Nietzsche's philosophy is a great symphony that has its own peculiar rhythm and melody. In order to comprehend the philosophy on should "get" the rhythm. (6) Nietzsche was both a tragic philosopher and a jester. (7) Nietzsche's philosophy is a touchstone not only for the philosophic culture of every particular reader, but also for their humanity Nietzsche's philosophy is a criterion of the ages. Mankind needed a philosopher like Nietzsche and if it were not for him, it would certainly be impoverished.
