In the article I discuss the post-structuralist ethics in relation to Nietzsche’s thought. The point of view of some French post-structuralists seems to be situated far away from Nietzsche’s ethical ideas, at the most reaching the camel’s and lion’s stage. Lyotard and Derrida opt for a relational ethics while Foucault chooses the strategy of local resistance to the symbolic violence. Paradoxically, Lacan turns out to be closest to Nietzsche, with his theory of exceeding the phantasm in the direction of the Real Order.
