This article intends to analyse the relationship between Nietzsche's political thought and his critique of culture, as elaborated in notes and essays during the first period of his work, particularly in Five Prefaces to five non-written Books. The goal is to show how the philosopher attempts, based on a singular analysis of the State and society in ancient Greece, to restore to the political experience a reflexive dimension in decline in the modernity.
