The question about the existence or nonexistence of a Nietzschean political philosophy keeps recurring in academia and it is immensely problematic ever since the attachment of the philosopher s name to the fascist ideologies of the first half of the twentieth century. Especially from the second half of the twentieth century onwards, Nietzsche s philosophy has been brought to political debates, this time as the philosophy of great causes, of those yearning for liberation from the yoke of big political schemes of modernity. The initial aim of this dissertation is to demonstrate that Nietzsche s philosophy does not have the features to allow its assimilation by the political debate. The philosopher himself repeatedly refused to enter the political debate of his time, refusing to constrain his reflections and philosophical views to the needs and cries of the rabble . He warned for the harshness and radical nature of his thought and forecasted the attachment of his name to terrible things . In light of this, this dissertation is to carry out an examination of the Nietzschean philosophy from the political stand point, that is, try to see if Nietzsche s thought has a place in the general framework of political thought. This examination shall be done taking into account the wide audience to which political discourses are destined and the commitment of this thought to the cries of the rabble , or to the discourse of domination. The final aim of this dissertation is to demonstrate that displaced from the framework of philosophy, that is, brought to the bosom of common sense and due to the controversial nature of its assertions, Nietzsche s philosophy, once again, ends up being an easy prey to the proposes of domination, serving the worst intentions. Once more, the philosopher s prediction that his name would be attached to terrible things is running the risk of being confirmed.
