In this article we analyze the use that agonistic theorists of democracy have made of Nietzsche’s philosophy with a focus on one of their main normative propositions: the idea of “agonistic
respect”. In the first section we present general characteristics of the appropriation of Nietzsche’s philosophy by the agonistic theorists of democracy. In the second section we present what William Connolly and Lawrence Hatab mean by “agonistic respect” and “democratic respect”.
In the third section we criticize these appropriations of Nietzsche’s philosophy using Nietzsche’s own texts, pointing out some limits of the notion of agonistic respect and claiming that these theorists use Nietzsche to promote a laisser aller ethics that was severely criticized by him.
