Nietzsche's political philosophy has been steadily increasing in recent years. However, the study of Nietzsche's political thought is still insignificant compared to the accumulated research capacity of western academia, and research is on the rise recently compared to other research areas of Nietzsche philosophy.
Today, contrary to Fukuyama's declaration of "the end of history", democracy is a crisis of democracy resulting from the ambiguity and interpretation of the ideological nature of democracy due to the universalization and inclusion of democracy. Democracy was a concrete political ideology.) As the fall of socialism did not mean the disappearance of capitalism's contradiction, it was the fall of fascism and socialist politics This does not mean the disappearance of the problem of liberal democracy.
In this respect, Nietzsche's critique of liberal democracy and his emphasis on "great politics" can be said to provide a rich intellectual insight for philosophical reflection on the contemporary political order in which political alienation, indifference, and irresponsibility have prevailed. The author's interest is in the philosophical reflection on modern political order, focusing on the philosophers of Nietzsche, Tocqueville, and critic theorists who have experienced both aristocracy, conservative liberalism, and democracy.
The concept of 'Pathos der Distanz' based on Nietzsche's 'great politics', 'liberalism, democracy, socialism criticism', 'sovereign personality as self-legislator', and fictional 'equality ideology' . In particular, Nietzsche's criticism of liberalism and democracy, which is the basis of the modern political order, is of significance today. Nietzsche's acrimonious criticism of irresponsible and ineffective militarism and mass culture, which is largely divided into sovereign individuals based on accountability and independence, is an example. Modern society, where material enjoyment, democratic and personal comforts are emphasized, should listen to Nietzsche's criticism and warnings about the possibility of Tocqueville's 'democratic premise'.
