| Sumario: | The need for a new mythology, expressed in the oldest program of the system of German idealism, already indicates the social topicality of the phenomenon that arose and came to be called nihilism. Hölderlin's poetry expressly takes on the role of the new mythmaker. The invocation of Dionysus, the god of community, the god of all, the "common god," aims to offer an alternative to the then-existing but still current lack of a sense of commonality and community. The nihilistic echo of man's contemporary liberation from the shackles he has imposed on himself shows us that behind the strategies of emancipation lies a unified schematism. Thanks to it, the connection between liberation and individualization that is taken for granted in modern thinking is abolished. The irresponsibility of the contemporary world works by leveling every innovative step forward, and at the same time it does not see its own decision as the beginning of a new norm. In modern conditions, the will for new, different, original, authentic is not driven by an insatiable need to search for true breakthroughs, but, on the contrary, by the desire for their leveling. In this day and age, if something seems unusual, it becomes old and uninteresting at express speed. At the same time, successful examples of "modernization" were related to the "refreshing" of antiquity, most often associated with inventiveness, and even with a virtuoso interpretive gesture. Potreba po novi mitologiji, izražena v najstarejšem programu sistema nemškega idealizma, že nakazuje družbeno aktualnost pojava, ki se je pojavil in se je začel imenovati nihilizem. Hölderlinova poezija izrecno prevzame vlogo novega ustvarjalca mitov. S klicanjem Dioniza, boga skupnosti, boga vseh, »skupnega boga«, želi ponuditi alternativo takratnemu, še vedno aktualnemu pomanjkanju občutka skupnega in skupnostnega. Nihilistični odmev sodobne osvoboditve človeka iz okovov, ki si jih je sam naložil, nam pokaže, da se za strategijami emancipacije skriva enoten shematizem. Po njegovi zaslugi je ukinjena povezava med osvoboditvijo in individualizacijo, ki je v sodobnem mišljenju samoumevna. Neodgovornost sodobnega sveta deluje tako, da nivelira vsak inovativen korak naprej, a hkrati svoje odločitve ne vidi kot začetek nove norme. V sodobnih razmerah volje po novem, drugačnem, izvirnem, avtentičnem ne poganja nenasitna potreba po iskanju resničnih prebojev, temveč, nasprotno, želja po njihovem niveliranju. Če se v današnjem času nekaj zdi nenavadno, to z ekspresno hitrostjo postane staro in nezanimivo. Hkrati so bili uspešni primeri „modernizacije", ki so predstavljali „osvežitev" starinskosti, najpogosteje povezani z iznajdljivostjo in celo z virtuozno interpretativno gesto. |
