Abstract
[Autom. eng. transl.] Sacrifice for God, for the homeland, for others. To sacrifice oneself for a political ideal or for a moral doctrine. Forced sacrifices but also voluntary. Autosacrifici. Capri expiators and sacrifices of free time. Everyone in modern society now seems to speak the daily language of sacrifice. For the totality, for a greater good, secular or secularized, it is right for the individual to cancel his existence. Like a real atoning sacrifice of antiquity: without blood this time, but still perpetrated with the same violence. Nietzsche, however, thinks differently. It brings to the surface and unmasks the sacrificial logic that permeates western civilization, offering us an interesting insight into modern ethos. In the end, for him, staying in this dynamic will lead to a single, tragic result: wherever there is sacrifice, there is something human.
