Abstract: Nietzsche repeatedly deals with Plato’s manifold and ambiguous personality, his writings, the history of the impact of his thought. Since the Basel lectures, Plato the symbol is used according to a threefold register: monumental, antiquarian, critical. The controversy with Platonism is constant; however, the challenged image of moralist Plato is defined as a “caricature” which is similar to Augustine’s and Schopenhauer’s readings, defined as belittling and redundant in some passages. Interpretations not influenced by metaphysical-moral dualism are considered, with the emergence, beyond the uninterrupted fight “with” Plato, of a more sporadic but intriguing fight “on” Plato.
