MANSILLA, H. C. F. Friedrich Nietzsche, la Escuela de Frankfurt y el postmodernismo. RF [online]. 2005, vol.23, n.51, pp.073-097. ISSN 0798-1171.

This article makes a reflection on the relation of Nietzsche’s ideas with today’s trend of postmodernism, through the thought of the School of Frankfurt. The inspiring role of Nietzsche in many of the main figures of this School, like Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer, are here examined. Ideas like those of relativism, will of power and totalitarianism -here critically analyzed- are used to build the notion of an influence always powerful and present, in the thought of the School of Frankfurt as much as in that of postmodernism.
