TEACHING THROUGH PHILOSOPHY AND THE WILL TO POWER

This work permeates the Nietzschean concept about the Will to Power on the educational system today, aiming at a more active and effective Teaching of Philosophy. Where the philosophical thought of Friedrich Nietzsche and other philosophers end up approaching excerpts from history in the construction of the teaching of philosophy. Showing that there may be the possibility of a liberating teaching of philosophy, which turns out to be a driving force beyond banking education and which is a plausible possibility. We will also make a comparison about the thought of Friedrich Nietzsche and Lilian Bacich. The bibliographic review carried out in this work was based on the concept of Will Power linked to liberating teaching, aiming to overcome certain barriers applied to contemporary teaching, allowing the student to reach the autonomy of his own knowledge with criticality, thus being the author of his own will.

The Decartes’ paradox and the modern philosophy as the foundation farse

In this article the author identifies a paradox at the heart of Descartes? foundationalist project. The components of the paradox are as follows: on the one hand, ontological certainty of cogito, on the other hand, its epistemic uncertainty: it is impossible for the solus ipse to establish the elementary truth: at present it is impossible to determine whether it is now night or daylight. For Descartes the solution consists of introducing God and in believing in His existence. But this is no solution whatsoever, for a subject would require direct contact with God in order to receive clear and distinct ideas, which are at the same time marks of their truth. The author concludes the following: firstly, Descartes managed to establish a foundation for nothing; secondly, the Cartesian project that includes the necessity of contact with God as a way to attain the Truth, becomes completed only in Hegel?s philosophy of Absolut Knowledge (in Wiss. der Logik), along with his justification provided in the Phenoimenologie des Gesites. The post-Hegelian philosophy, however, has engendered its own paradox by abandoning Hegel?s own solution despite it being fully Cartesian in its character. This was the consequence of abandoning God and declaring Hegel?s philosophy as a deplorable conservative revival of theology; something that was beyond understanding by modern philosophers. The abandonment of God had as its consequence the return to the Cartesian paradox, which reopened the question of truth - connected to the Cogito, and the question of sense (Sinn) - connected to the sum of human subject. The neglect of God leads to the departure from ratio-centrism in two ways: the epistemic perspectivism and relativism, on the one hand, and Nihilism, voluntarism with decisionism, along with existentialism, on the other. Consequently, with the death of God, and the fall of Hegel?s system, the modern metaphysics of subjectivity reveals itself as founded merely on the Will to power - as a will for God, until Hegel, and a will against God, subsequently. Thus, Heidegger was right when he said that Nietzsche?s Will to Power was the end of the Western metaphysics. The author complements this finding by adding that this kind of metaphysic had already been concealed within the Descartes Meditations from the start, in the forms of the will for the Reason and the will for God. Finally, the author concludes that the modern philosophy completes its own Odyssey of looking for a foundation by abandoning the Hegelian solution, blind to the fact that Hegel?s solution was the only consequent Cartesian one. The ultimate result was the fall of ratio-centrism into nihilism, voluntarism, and existentialism, as promoted under a thin vail of Picodellamirandolian humanism.

VOLUNTAD DE PODER Y HERMENÉUTICA: RASGOS FUNDAMENTALES DEL SER HUMANO NIETZSCHEANO


 Se pretende ofrecer claves para presentar y comprender la estructura antropológica del sujeto nietzscheano en códigos hermenéuticos. Para ello se utilizará vehicularmente la idea de la voluntad de poder, que se desplegará a lo largo de distintos hitos de la filosofía del autor. Se rastrearán elementos fundamentales del pensamiento de Nietzsche con el fin de mostrar la coherencia de la unidad conceptual de términos aparentemente distantes como los de “devenir”, “genealogía”, “cuerpo” o “ser”, articulados desde la condición perspectivista a la que aboca la original obra de Nietzsche. La integración sintética de los mencionados términos se apoyará, también, en la experiencia radical del nihilismo decimonónico, ofreciendo finalmente un original criterio de verdad cuya ontología respeta tanto la precariedad de la existencia humana como la indigencia de un tiempo privado de sentido último. Tras el diagnóstico de la sintomatología epocal y de la integración del hombre en tal espacio asignificativo y horizonte perspectivista se ofrecerán algunas tentativas de existencia que respeten la peculiaridad hermenéutica del hombre nietzscheano. Teniendo siempre por límite la propia vida efectiva.

Sublime and Technology: Nietzsche / Kant / Heidegger

Martin Heidegger’s “Da-sein” (Being-there) is the ideal manifestation of the Nietzschean of “overman” in relation to the “will to power.” Overman is the potential human subject thrown in the world, and is concerned with the world. Dasein manages in the world with other fellow human beings in the world. Dasein is ‘ek-sistent’ (being ahead of itself) and sustains himself by looking ahead of the potentiality of the future anterior (will have been). In this trans-temporality of the gathering together of the simultaneity of past-present-future, this Dasein is the deconstruction of the Nietzschean human subject, thus anticipating the ontology of Being in the form of Nietzschean “trans-human” (human who overcomes himself/herself) and further of post-human (machinic human after human).” In this context, the purpose of this paper is first of all to trace how Martin Heidegger articulates Nietzsche’s concepts of “world,” “overman,” and “will to power,” by deconstructing them into his own ontology of being and provokes the question concerning the ontology of technology. Heidegger’s ontological project of being and technology opens up the new poetics of the postmodern technological sublime, in tandem with the Kantian epistemology of “the analytic of the sublime.” My own aesthetics of postmodern sublime constructed in terms of the convergent dialogues among Nietzsche and Heidgger, and Kant will prepare an open and free relationship to the questioning concerning technology and the sublime.

NIETZSCHES „ANTI-DARWINISMUS“

As the threefold meaning of - equalizing, opposing, and surpassing - suggests, Nietzsche's Anti-Darwinism is not a simple opposition to Darwinism. Rather, it assumes a more fundamental similarity between the two which it then claims to go beyond. Darwinism and Antidarwinism show themselves to be complementary interpretations which interact and and again overcome each other - like the will to power and will to nothingness, health and sickness, or superman and the last man.

Will to cruelty in Nietzsche’s tragic writings

This text aims at showing how the problem of cruelty is already present in Nietzsche’s early texts, which I call “tragic writings”. It is true that the concept of will to power and the destructive drives that it contains will become fully explicit only during the third and last period of Nietzsche’s productive life. Nonetheless, the issue of forces and their relation permeates and fundamentally marks the reflections the philosopher develops from 1869 onwards on tragedy and Hellenic civilization. Thus, besides tragedy as such, he analyzes the role that art, politics, religion and the genius played in the formation and development of Greek life. The most important thing, however, is to notice that, together with the cruelty that characterizes the will in the “tragic writings”, there exists a delight emanating from the same will, a will that knows neither satisfaction nor end. Keywords: Nietzsche, will to power, cruelty, forces, delight.
