NIETZSCHE ET LA CRISE EUROPÉENNE
NIETZSCHE AND THE CRISIS OF MODERNITY

Summary/Abstract: Nietzsche and the Crisis of Modernity. One of the major lines of Nietzsche's philosophical discourse is given by the critique of modernity. A critique as such concerns especially the critique of European values and thus the critique of morality, a morality interpreted within the metaphysical thinking as it is represented within a long tradition. Thus, the European culture is subjected by Nietzsche to a severe analysis, the conclusion of its whole approach being that modernity has lost its fundamental lines, precisely as a result of the disintegration of all values, and finds itself, as such, in a crisis. An emergence out of such a state is for Nietzsche an interrogation and, consequently, a reevaluation of all values, believing that only thus can decadence and nihilism, that configure the European culture of its time, be overcome.
