Informe de Seminario para optar al grado de Licenciado en Filosofía. / Este trabajo, como ya habrán notado, trata de Nietzsche, de su pensamiento. Ahora, esta última afirmación debe acotarse pues ¿Resulta tan claro el ámbito al que me refiero cuando hablo de „Nietzsche‟, de „su pensamiento‟?. Al parecer no. El pensamiento de Nietzsche puede y ha sido interpretado de múltiples maneras, lo cual no se debe tanto a la cantidad de interpretadores, sino a la fecundidad de este pensamiento, que se presta a múltiples interpretaciones.

Any adequate interpretation of the concept of the will to power, given the radical break with the history of philosophy it presupposes, requires a preceding analysis of Nietzsche’s critique of the history of philosophy as a critique of metaphysics. Only once Nietzsche’s critique of metaphysics is properly understood as a critique of, in the broadest sense, any correspondence conception of truth, can the philosophical concept of the will to power, as a product of that critique, be understood as well. Each of the three typical types of interpretative approaches to the will to power (i.e. as a metaphysical concept, as an empirical concept, as an object of interpretive play) will provide a critically constructive opportunity to narrow an acceptable definition of Nietzsche’s positive conception of philosophy as a distinctive and unorthodox type of history, according to which any interpretation rests, not on truths, but on its author’s prejudices or fundamental values. Moreover, using Gilles Deleuze’s largely ignored or otherwise grossly misunderstood Nietzsche et la philosophie, a non-normative, post-metaphysical justification consistent with that critique can then be provided for Nietzsche’s radical reform to the philosophical method. According to Nietzsche, philosophy as a will to power is preferable to philosophy as a will to truth because it is consistent with his profound and unjustified love of life. In fact, the will to power it is the philosophical expression of that love.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att enligt nämnda frågeställning utvinna en systematisk klassificering av Londons karaktärer utifrån Nietzsches text. Detta innebär i en imperialistisk kontext, med utgångspunkt i den postkoloniala teori formulerad av Edward Said, en problematisering av dikotomin västerländsk och icke-västerländsk samt ett uppdagande av en etnisk-kulturell hierarki, där det västerländska, i form av den londonska övermänniskan, gestaltas som högst och urinvånaren, det icke-västerländska, som lägst. Den kulturella representationen ska i denna studie undersökas i valda litterära texter av Jack London utifrån en nietzscheansk matris. Det är alltså inte en historisk granskning av hur imperialismen och kolonialismen i Nordamerika inverkat på dess urinvånare, även om denna studie undersöker en problematik som kan inplaceras i den historiska kontexten.

Para tal, o método utilizado na investigação foi uma investida na obra de Nietzsche visando apresentar ao leitor, a partir da perspectiva do compromisso de sua filosofia com a afirmação da existência, em que consiste a proposta estética em questão. O ponto de chegada de nosso trabalho destaca a fisiologia da arte como uma formulação nietzschiana, segundo a qual, o escopo geral da arte corresponde mais ao estado de saúde do corpo, do que propriamente às obras de arte. As principais reivindicações do presente estudo são: 1) a perspectiva naturalista endossada por Nietzsche para abordagem do tema não pode ser compreendida como um naturalismo em moldes reducionistas; 2) a perspectiva imanente expressa na fisiologia da arte pode ser entendida como um elemento central das reflexões estéticas nietzschianas em conjunto. ________________________________________________________________________________________ / ABSTRACT: The current dissertation analyzes the subject of physiology of art in the work of Friedrich Nietzsche by identifying how he composes his philosophical project. The method used for this research was invested in Nietzsche's work in order to present to the reader, from the perspective of the commitment of his philosophy with the affirmation of existence, what is the aesthetic proposal. The culmination of our work highlights the physiology of art as a Nietzsche’s thesis which states that the general scope of art is more about the state of health of an organism than actually works of art. The main demands of the present study are: 1) The naturalistic perspective endorsed by Nietzsche for theme approach cannot be understood as reductionist naturalism; 2) the immanent perspective expressed in the physiology of art can be understood as a central element of Nietzsche’s aesthetic reflections combined.
