A crítica da modernidade em Nietzsche: o último homem e o tipo escravo

Abstract

This research aims to develop a possibility of interpretation of modernity through the perspective of the last man from Nietzsche and its reverberation in the slave type. Considering that, according to the assimilation of Nietzsche modernity, this would translate the moment of uninterrupted relations established mainly through value judgments. Given the above, it puts into focus the motivation for this research: to investigate how the last man presented in This way spoke Zarathustra effectives a philosophical line that takes practice in a modern type and, therefore gregarious, taking full form of Nietzsche’s slave, in The genealogy of morals?. To this end, we intend to analyze the notion of modernity as a process of equalization (leveling) of man, from his major texts, namely Beyond good and evil, whose work Nietzsche seeks to show in detail the face of modernity and its decadent constitution. Similarly, in his book The genealogy of morals, he makes a study of the origin and the forces that influences the constitution of values. Thus, the search becomes important not only for developing a conceptual theoretical analysis of the author, which presents theoretical and philosophical elements that help to think about the issues of modernity, but also because it wants to learn from Nietzsche thinking is to exercise the criticism, as well as the creation of other interpretive positions about the world.
