Nietzsche i/ili predsokratika

Referring to Nietzsche’s monograph Philosophy in the tragic age of the Greeks, Eugen Fink criticized the disappearance of the notion of being and added that the mentioned work is “imbued with the unique charm”. It is a very large and unusual contrast “between Nietzsche’s intuitive grasp of substantial destruction and its understanding”, primarily finding it in its relation to the Greek philosophy. In the Greeks, Nietzsche discerns bold courage for evidence of philosophy of life, unceasingly seeing, with his inner eye, a “sophisticated communication among great spirits” in the history of Pre-Socratic thinkers. Above else, in Pre-Socratic thinkers Nietzsche recognizes great metaphors – in other words – the genuine intuition, suppressed (through time) and finally annihilated by reflections of a reasoning mind.
