Abstract

Much has been written about the complicated relationship between Friedrich Nietzsche and Plato. However, beyond the irreconcilable nature of their positions and interests, both carry out their philosophical enterprise by confronting the dominant values of their time in order to question them and propose, in turn, an alternative way of living and feeling. Just as Nietzsche detects a first re-evaluation of all values (Umwertung aller Werte) in the rebellion of the slaves in morality, Plato would do the same with the Socratic theses of the Gorgias. Nietzsche himself points to a re-evaluation of all values, just as Plato and Judeo-Christianity had done before him.
