Nietzsche on Socrates

Two of the greatest thinkers of Western civilization, Friedrich Nietzsche and Plato's Socrates, meet in a philosophical treatise that examines a number of concepts key to Socratic thought as they are interpreted by Nietzschean thought.
In the first part, the researcher traces the philological background of Nietzsche's reference in the case of Socrates starting with the Platonic works Symposium, Phaedrus, Phaedo, Gorgias, Politicus, Meno, Ion and the versions of the ancient Greek philosopher handed down to us by Lucian (Peri of Orchesis) and Diogenes Laertius (Lives of Philosophers). In this context, atopy is examined as the simultaneous participation of Socrates in both the rational and the erotic philosophical discourse, and its relationship with art and aesthetics on the one hand, and with ejaculation and the body on the other.
In the second part, starting with the attempt at self-criticism that Nietzsche added to The Birth of Tragedy in 1886, the researcher reveals the contradictions inherent in the early thought of the German philosopher (1872/4), illuminating this reflection of his in the light of concepts that dominate his later works (e.g. mask, wandering, great suspicion, perspectivism, etc.). In this course, the views of important researchers, such as Heidegger, Deleuze, Kaufmann, Bataille, Morgan, Lambrelli, Laios and Doikos, are presented, regarding the Nietzschean conceptions of the homeland, individualism, friendship, fantasy , of the shadow and the will to power.
