Nicht-Europäisch oder Über-Europäisch? Zur alten Frage, was Russland ‚versprechen kann‘
-
Ekaterina Poljakova
Abstract
Noting that Nietzsche thought Russia “the only power” in Europe “which can still promise something,” Ekaterina Poljakova examines how Russi could be possibly interpreted as an alternative to and the prospective completion of Europe. She argues that Nietzsche saw the potential for overcoming tragic contradictions in European morality through the Russian attitude to life, especially through Russian way of “consciously remaining in untruth”. Although he also opposed his own creed as it was formulated in The Antichrist to that of Dostoevsky. The Russian belief in the self-made ideals prompt both his critique and his admiration. It was doubtful and at the same time tempting, that a non-European could appear to be supra-European.
