Author: Hugo Drochon, convenor of the conference ‘Nietzsche’s transvaluation of values’ in 2008.
In Ecce Homo‘s ‘Why I am a Destiny,’ Nietzsche declares that ‘the concept of politics’ will merge entirely into a ‘Mind-war’ and that ‘the earth will know Great politics.’ Through analysing these two concepts, the aim of this article is to counter Bernard Williams’s claim that “Nietzsche did not move to any view that offered a coherent politics.” Nietzsche does so in calling for the founding of a ‘Party of Life,’ whose ‘concept of politics’ is to breed a new ‘master race,’ to fight a Mind-war, ignited by the ‘act’ of the Revaluation,’ The Antichrist, against the ‘Party of Christianity.’
