Stud a logos. K nietzschovsko-platónské polemice

Ondřej Sikora
Fakulta filozofcká Univerzity Pardubice

The study presents the motif of shame as an interesting and hitherto neglected intersection in the Nietzsche-Plato relationship. The first part of the essay recapitulates the function of this motif in Nietzsche’s culminating texts (mainly Zarathustra and Gay Science), while in the second part I turn my attention to the motif of shame in Plato’s work, more precisely, to the two “extreme” contexts of death (Apology, Crito) and love (Symposium). It turns out that for both authors, shame is a constitutive phenomenon that is thematized in relation to logos. Shame and logos thus stand in close and contrasting relation. There is a tension between the two moments that is decisive for the life of the soul, for its upward movement (Plato) or gradation (Nietzsche). It is therefore not a simple subjugation of the irrational element by the rational component of the soul that plays the central role, but an interplay of irreducible, mutually demanding moments.
