Nietzsche takes decisive positions regarding the question of labour, positions that change in the different phases of his thinking. Initially, he extols the superior civilization of the Greeks in bitter controversy with Christianity, which can only arise from the division of society into “castes”: exactly, that of those who work and that of those who laze. Later, in open controversy with socialism, Nietzsche makes a ruthless analysis of manual labour, denouncing its mechanization with the inhumane condition of factory workers, in order to claim the necessity of idleness, but only for those who are free from this kind of slavery.
