• Languages of publication: PL

Abstracts

The article is an attempt to develop a critical interpretation of the category of sublime, which is present in writings of Friedrich Nietzsche: starting from the earliest letters sublime appears in the rhetorical style and archetypal metaphors of this philosopher. The sublimity of Nietzschean style is interpreted in psychoanalytical perspective. This interpretative method enables revealing of the dialectic of desire, which determines Nietzsche’s notion of the will to power. Traces of disgust and moments of sublime emerging out of the writings of Nietzsche are considered in this article as symptoms of relation to phantasmal object of desire (objet petit a in Lacan’s dictionary). In Nietzsche’s writings symptomatic metaphors of elevated Magnitude are accompanied with descriptions of abjection towards everything that should be defeated in man, everything that is feeble and weak. Hereinafter article portrays how Nietzsche became overwhelmed by his phantasm of man conceived as a “bridge” leading to “superman,” that is to say, by his phantasm of superman conceived as incessant movement of transgressing the (self) abjection.
