Negation of base and antiquated values—values whose outcome is nothing but weakness—and affirmation of life, noble values, and the creation of new ones constitute central pillars of Nietzsche’s philosophy. In his movements of Affirmation and Negation, Nietzsche performs a radical inversion of many inherited values. For example, he considers numerous values long regarded as “good” to be inauthentic, ineffective, and hypocritical, while many values historically judged as “evil” he deems genuine, truthful, and life‑enhancing. War is among those concepts that common morality—unlike the morality of the strong—has consistently viewed as ominous and reprehensible. Nietzsche, however, deconstructs the notion of war throughout his works, discerning within it noble meanings and regarding it as a source of vitality and authentic living. In al‑Mutanabbī’s thought as well, war acquires positive and commendable connotations. Hence, the present study undertakes a comparative examination of the deconstruction and inversion of war‑related concepts in the thought of Nietzsche and al‑Mutanabbī. The findings indicate that both thinkers portray war as a source of tranquility, a healing phenomenon, and something elevated and beautiful. For al‑Mutanabbī, the battlefield and the act of combat function analogously to Nietzsche’s Dionysian state; while in the Dionysian condition the ancient Greek, through dance and music, merges with the primordial unity and essence of existence, al‑Mutanabbī reaches a Dionysian‑like ecstasy through a dance fashioned from combat and a music composed of the clashing of swords.
