Goethe, Nietzsche, Varoufakis: Why Did the Greeks Matter – and Still Do?

  • Paul Bishop

Abstract

The formative influence of the Greeks on Nietzsche’s understanding of history and vision for Europe prompts Paul Bishop to examine Europe’s contemporary decadence, itself rooted in trends Nietzsche identified in late nineteenthcentury Europe. Specifically, Bishop considers the significance of Nietzsche’s thought to economics, and applies it to an analysis of the European debt crisis, the economic collapse of Greece in the last decade and the predations of capitalism. He reflects upon the emphasis German officials placed on the debt and guilt of Greeks in negotiating with Greek officials and their insistence upon punishing austerity measures over arguably more rational alternatives.
