Summary:The Nietzshean approach to history reveals a clear cut opposition to the Enlightenment pattern of its understanding based on the ideas of rationalism, humanism, and global substantialist constructions of linear progressive development of mankind accompanied by the Utopias of the future. The comparative analysis of Derrida's project of deconstruction of Western metaphysics and Bakhtin's parody of ideology and philosophy in the perspective of the formation of contemporary post-modern historical discourse looks quite interesting despite the existing evident philosophical differences between the two thinkers.
