| Abstract: | In recent years, there have been significant breakthroughs in technological advancements and the digitalization of society. While the digital development has been in many ways beneficial it has also brought along new challenges and risks while it has reshaped the questions about human nature, the normative structure of society, and the manners of social interpretation. In the paper, I will investigate how three of the key aspects of Nietzsche’s philosophy – the concept of eternal return as constructive repetition, the perspectivist outlook on the questions regarding truth and values, and the blending of literal and metaphorical language in description of the world – can be productively engaged in a dialogue with contributions from philosophical hermeneutics and critical theory of society and help better understand and perhaps provide some ways to mitigate the negative effects of the critical social phenomena of today: the near emergence of virtual societies that simulate or even improve reality but might become dystopian in effect, the problematic assessment of normative structure of society, and changes to the manners of public communication due to successive crises, digital transformation of society (including the advent of new social media), and the rise of radical politics. The questioning of the ever more pervading and ever less regulated discriminating and dehumanizing speech that is one of the final outcomes of the disintegration of hate speech regulation may be a particularly urgent task in today’s society – and Nietzsche’s philosophy may have some clues on how to tackle it. |
