metaphor, nationalism, music, European unityAbstract
By analyzing the chapter «Peoples and Fatherlands» (§§ 240-256) in Beyond Good and Evil, we intend to point out the way by which Nietzsche accomplishes his critique to nationalism, as opposed to European unity, assuming as a reference German music, particularly the Wagnerian one, which, in this case, embodies a worldview based on an ideal of formation (Bildung) practically inexistent in the philosopher’s contemporary Germany. In this way we aim to emphasize the fact that politics cannot be taken as a metaphor to describe «states of soul», but rather that it should be understood in its effective dimension.
