Abstract

This is a hermeneutic study of the relevance of language in Nietzsche’s philosophy and its legacy for the contemporary world. In order to achieve this, the paper begins by analyzing the plastic phenomenon in the philosopher’s dialogues with part of German idealism in the context of Die Geburt der Tragödie (1872) and its developments in subsequent writings. Thereafter, two important understandings of language and rhetoric found in the texts produced for the lectures from 1872 to 1875 are analyzed: rhetoric conceived as δύναμισ and language conceived as rhetoric. Both analyzes investigate the conceptual development of the expression plastic force (plastische Kraft) between the 1870s and 1880s and its effects on the thought cycles of Die Unzeitgemäße Betrachtungen (1873-1876), Die fröhliche Wissenschaft (1882/1887) and Jenseits von Gut und Böse (1886). The concluding interpretation identifies plastic force as a relational mechanism between these three phases and as an essential feature of Nietzschean philosophy.
