First, this paper aims to investigate the notion of amor fati, as it appears in the Fourth Book of The Gay Science and in the poems by Lou von Salom & eacute;, during her time with Nietzsche in Tautenburg. Next, it will explore the relationship between the notion of amor fati, Zarathustra, and the idea of eternal recurrence of the same.
Based on an article by Mazzino Montinari, from 1988, "Die sprode Art, Nietzsche zu lesen. Die Niederschrift von ,Also sprach Zarathustra'am Beispiel des Kapitels ,Auf den gluckseligen Inseln'", we analyze the relevance of Michelangelo's sculpture in the development of the Nietzschean concept of & Uuml;bermensch, during his stay in Rome, in 1883. For the purpose, we first consider, as a reference Paul Janz's biography on Nietzsche to concisely situate his steps prior to the development of the vaunted concept, with emphasis on Rome. Subsequently, we analyzed the aforementioned text by Montinari to evaluate the content of his hypothesis, according to which the thought of the great Michelangelo, who was admired by Nietzsche, was based on the section 'In the Blessed Isles', from the second part of Zarathustra. We then followed the traces of Montinari's interpretation in Vivetta Vivarelli's analysis in "Der Bildner des Ubermenschen und der dithyrambische K & uuml;nstler: Michelangelo und Wagner in Also sprach Zarathustra". And, finally, we come to the conclusion that there is a secret presence of Michelangelo in the elaboration of the concept of Ubermensch, in Zarathustra, more specifically, in the section 'In the Blessed Isles', however, we realize that the influence of the Italian artist is not limited to the preparation of the propagated idea, extending to the more general theme of superior men (great men) and their peers, which, consequently, broadens Nietzsche's reception of other nuances to think about this issue; and, we still come to the following conclusion that the Italian capital was not the fertile soil from which these ideas of Nietzsche sprouted, but rather Italy, in a broader scope, which refers to the Renaissance.
This article explores whether the relationship between language and world, as considered by Gadamer, provides a way of understanding the experience of linguistic understanding through which users of machine learning gain the possibility of expanding their horizons beyond the application of computer devices when understanding and producing a written text. To answer this question, a hermeneutic methodology based on the analysis of bibliographical sources is used, and Gadamer's view of language and world experience is examined, as well as his proposal of language as a speculative center and structure. It is concluded that the use of computer devices in function of the understanding and production of meaning of the written text represents, from Gadamers approach, the occasion for something constitutive of the philosophical tradition to happen: commitment to a practice of mutual understanding carried out in the form of dialogue in which those involved harmonize the ability to question with the use of technological tools in the task of the production of meaning of the written text in a speculative way, which includes by itself the action of saying always open.
This article focuses on the phenomenon of online outrage campaigns, which usually revolve around such topics as religion, race, gender, and sexuality. Being one of the features of the current antagonistic climate in the online public sphere, these campaigns are largely exacerbated by the algorithmic rules that incentivise the production of provocative content for maximum visibility. One of the explanatory concepts for such radicalisation of the online public sphere is Friedrich Nietzsche's ressentiment, introduced in his On the Genealogy of Morality, the concept which has seen a marked return to contemporary academic and public discourse. Ressentiment means a mental attitude that arises when vengeful impulses lose their touch with the object. This attitude is characterised by both impotence in changing something about the subject's own deprived state and proactiveness in creating values out of this state. This article will first trace the development of Nietzsche's concept of ressentiment and its evolving role in cultural and political theory. It is proposed to view ressentiment not as a diagnostic tool applied to specific groups but as a state that the online public sphere is already saturated with. Secondly, it will examine how ressentiment operates within the algorithmically driven online public sphere, setting several online outrage campaigns as examples. In doing so, the paper hopes to contribute to a clearer understanding of how negative affect functions in digital spaces, facilitates identity building and conceals the real discontent of online users.
This article seeks to revive the debate between the moral philosophies of Charles Taylor and Michel Foucault. This dialogue, barely sketched by both intellectuals and little explored in subsequent literature, is justified both by some relevant similarities between their proposals and by the crucial differences that characterize their respective systems. By recovering their ontological presuppositions, the article analyzes the possibilities each thinker offers for moral evaluation and comparison, arguing that this is one of the most compelling reasons for defending the Taylorian framework.
