Nietzsche e a educação : por um ensino de filosofia que oportunize a potencialização do educando

Abstract

This dissertation attemps to establish a connection between Nietzsche's thought and Education, addressing more specifically the teaching of philosophy. The study aims to set Nietzsche's thought in the educational field in order to highlight points of interaction with some contemporary educational issues. In addition, we also analyze some fundamental concepts for understanding how to configure the Will to Power in Nietzsche's thought, in order to discuss the possibility of a philosophy teaching that can be taken as a possible way of learner’s empowerment. The procedure adopted is a literature, through interpretative analysis, whose guiding principle is the theoretical of Nietzsche and his depth critique of modern educational ideas, as well as his concept of Will to Power as an instinctual force - inherent in man - of affirmation of life’s multiplicity by becoming creative. To construct this argumentative path, we first approached the Nietzsche’s thought in the context of education; after we cover the key concepts for understanding how to configure, in Nietzschean’s thought, the concept of Will to Power, and, finally, we approached the possibility of considering a philosophy teaching that contemplates the enhancement of the students. In conclusive terms, we find that thinking about philosophy teaching as a driving element of the enhancement of the student involves breaking with all forms of subjugation and domestication, to make possible an exaltation of the will to power which is inherent in every human being.
