Matthew Meyer Livres

Nietzsche's work was shaped by his engagement with ancient Greek philosophy. Matthew Meyer analyzes Nietzsche's concepts of becoming and perspectivism and his alleged rejection of the principle of non-contradiction, and he traces these views back to the Heraclitean-Protagorean position that Plato and Aristotle critically analyze in the Theaetetus and Metaphysica IV, respectively. At the center of this Heraclitean-Protagorean position is a relational ontology in which everything exists and is what it is only in relation to something else. Meyer argues that this relational ontology is not only theoretically foundational for Nietzsche's philosophical project, in that it is the common element in Nietzsche's views on becoming, perspectivism, and the principle of non-contradiction, but also textually foundational, in that Nietzsche implicitly commits himself to such an ontology in raising the question of opposites at the beginning of both Human, All Too Human and Beyond Good and Evil.

Exploring Heraclitus's views on meaning and knowledge, the book delves into the interplay of mythic thinking, revealing the duality of holism and fragmentation in his philosophy. It emphasizes the concept of shared thinking as a reflection of social bonds, highlighting the dynamic nature of thought rather than a static continuity. The notion of agon, or conflict, emerges as central to understanding his fragments, suggesting that philosophy should embrace conflict as fundamental to defining the world, rather than seeking to eliminate it.
