Abstract

The paper analyzes the reception of Friedrich Nietzsche in the work of Wolfgang Harich who was one of the most famous philosophers and political thinkers of the GDR. It is discussed the approaches of Harich to the philosopher from Röcken and argued that Harich’s main approach to Nietzsche was characterized by an ideological concept of an enemy. Its hard core was to present Friedrich Nietzsche as the most eminent creator of the Nazi ideology. The paper shows that Wolfgang Harich’s treatment of Nietzsche was very strongly influenced by the Hungarian Marxist philosopher Georg Lukacs and his concept of the late bourgeois philosophy.
