In other words, the philosophy of Euripides leads to a worldview in which human dignity is devalued, and the philosophy of Socrates leads to a worldview constituted by nihilism. In tracing the history of humanity’s degeneration into modernity, Nietzsche came to recognize Aristophanes’ complaints against Euripides and Socrates as an original revelation of Western culture’s steep decline. As incoherent as the critical side of Nietzsche’s philosophy may seem, the positive side of his philosophy is consistent thus, the positive side can render both sides more coherent. The positive side of Nietzsche’s philosophy was aimed at retrieving the Worldview of ancient Greek culture. The critical side of Friedrich Nietzsche’s (1844-1900) philosophy was aimed at modernity: he believed that with modernization came the loss of the “highest” and “noblest” types of humans and the societal conditions to produce them.
