Intertextuality in the philosophy of Nietzsche

Abstract

This paper sheds light on the philosophical roots of intertextuality and its application on the philosophical text of Nietzsche, which is chosen for Nietzsche`s important impact on the contemporary philosophical and critical currents. Intertextuality is based on two principles: Firstly, the death of the of the author which means the absence of the idea of the owner of the text; as a result the text belongs to a group of authors. Secondly, the text is always changing in a ongoing and infinite relationship with other texts. There are many contributions of a group of critics and contemporary thinkers to the final form of the term Intertextuality, starting with Bakhtin who puts the basic pillars of Intertextuality through the concept of dialogue. Julia Kristeva sets the term of theorization which is what she called textual productivity. As for Testivian, he believes that each text is in a verbal communication, each verbal interaction takes place in the form of an exchange between words.
