She further tries to show that this concern with distinctions that underlies Arendtian love of the world is essentially a political concern that manifests itself in judgements about what ought and ought not to appear in the world and therefore stands opposed to an undiscriminating love of all that is. However, while Villa draws the conclusion that Nietzsche and Arendt are engaged in fundamentally different projects and that Arendt therefore cannot be called a Nietzschean, Roodt concludes her paper by arguing that what is at stake in the opposition between Nietzsche and Arendt is precisely our capacity to maintain the tension between the furor philosophicus and the furor politicus and hence between two kinds of reconciliation with the world.
Nietzsche and contemporary political theory 29 Allsobrook is primarily concerned to undermine what he considers to be a false distinction between ideology critique proper (as practised by critical theorists) and genealogy as a supposedly ‘botched’ version of the same thing.
