Muhammad Al-Mazoughi and Criticism of Contemporary Readings of Nietzsche's Philosophy

Abstract

Al-Mazoughi announced his total rejection of Nietzsche’s philosophy. This Nietzschean thought, which dominated the Arab and international cultural scene, is a thought that promotes theoretical nihilism, opposes logic and positivism, and highlights irrational and myth, adding meaning to religious discourses, giving them space and helping them to move as they wish, and to win people’s hearts. The scum of what remains of their rational convictions, especially in the Arab world, is stripped from them by an echo of that theoretical nihilism rooted by Nietzsche and his followers “Deleuze, Foucault, Heidegger” and promoted by our Arab intellectuals “Edward Said, Muhammad Andalusi, Muhammad al-Sheikh, ibn Abd al-Aali.”
