Abstract:
The aim of this article is to present that part of Friedrich Nietzsche’s work
that is of special interest to sociologists. To do this, I discuss the relationship
between Nietzsche’s work and the sociology both of today and of his own
time. The most important idea is that he saw reality as a social construction.
The idea of social construction is related to the beliefs and values, power
and interests of the actors. Nietzsche’s discussions of power and of the individual
vs. the collective are also analyzed.
