Contesting Nietzsche’s Agon. On Christa Davis Acampora’s Contesting Nietzsche
AbstractThis paper engages in a critical discussion with Christa Davis Acampora concerning Nietzsche’s concept of the agon. It takes issue with the “meaning-making” model of the agon developed in her book Contesting Nietzsche, the typology for distinguishing productive agonal confl ict from destructive confl ict, and its application to the Apollinian-Dionysian relation in GT and to Nietzsche’s critique of Socrates. Acampora’s model, it is argued, modernises and soft ens Nietzsche’s agon by taking out the moment of negation, disempowerment, or critical opposition that belongs together with reciprocal affi rmation or stimulation in agonal interaction.
