science, rationalism, intuitionAbstract
The young Nietzsche introduces Democritus as the first absolute incarnation of scientism and rationalism. How can we understand this in tune with Nietzsche’s criticism of scientific optimism and of rationality in general? How can we understand Nietzsche’s suggestion that the rationalistic Democritus is no more the summit of Greek thought, but Heraclitus, that kind of «intuitive man»? When intending to bring to the fore the knot that links these texts beyond their apparent contradiction, we would like to contribute to the revaluation of Nietzsche’s reception of pre-Platonic philosophers.
