In the present article I outline the main differences between Nietzsche and Wittgenstein concerning the anthropological and cultural dimension of social life. One of the most crucial aspects of social life is the image of man as the axiological point of reference. Although Wittgenstein, like Nietzsche, observed and criticized the simultaneousness decline of culture and progress of Western civilization, I argue that Wittgenstein poses an alternative view on the human condition and the possibilities of overcoming the cultural crisis of modernity. Unlike Nietzsche, who suggested that the only solution is a radical transformation of man into the Übermensch, Wittgenstein proposes harmony with the world and taming the human ego. Wittgenstein’s philosophy of culture and life can be regarded as an alternative for the transition of the Western culture from modernity to postmodernity based on the belief in the potential of the human being and humankind.
