Nietzsche has been considered to be an author who defends the rights of auditive versus the domination of visual, calling especial attention to his reflections on music. This article defends the thesis that Nietzsche’s critique of ocularcentrism does not result in its restrictive replacement by audiocentrism. Nietzsche’s criticism to the supremacy of the visual is limited to the conception of the visual presented by metaphysics, while his defense of hearing is accompanied by a conception of the vision which could be called Dionysian.
