Book, Nietzsche and women: female figures, images and types[LS]

Language: Brazilian Portuguese. Nietzsche's reflections on women do not have a marginal place in his work; they cannot be reduced to personal preferences and, even less, to occasional deviations. On the contrary, they join his philosophical enterprise. For this reason, it is necessary to relate them to central themes of his thought, such as perspectivism and experimentalism, the critique of metaphysics and the fight against dogmatism, psychology and typology, free spirits and philosophers of the future, the will to truth and the idea of ​​interpretation, the concept of will to power and the notion of force, the eternal return of the same and amor fati, “modern ideas” and decadence. This avoids the risk of casting a gaze on the philosopher's texts that is clouded by the defense or refusal of feminist positions. It is not a case of making a literal and anachronistic reading of his writings, which would end up branding him a misogynist, nor is it the case, without a prior evaluation of his propositions, of allowing himself to be carried away by an apologetic speech that would make him an accomplice of the feminism.
