A conversation with Werner Stegmaier explores why Nietzsche remains one of the most provocative guides to modern challenges of orientation. First published in October 2025 and now available on our page in English, the interview examines nihilism, the loss of inherited certainties, the enduring question of how orientation is possible in the present, and the relation between Nietzsche and the philosophy of orientation.
The discussion explores nihilism as a basic condition of our contemporary life, the relevance of Nietzsche today, the political stakes of his philosophy, and the challenge of setting goals without absolute foundations.
We thank Paul Stephan for his permission to publish the English translation of his interview with Werner Stegmaier on our website.
