O pragmatismo especulativo de Nietzsche

Abstract

This work proposes a reassessment of Nietzsche’s philosophical significance through an engagement with contemporary thought and the aporias of the present. By reconstructing Nietzsche’s perspectivism—situating it within his broader intellectual framework and its dialogue with the philosophical tradition (particularly critiques of Kantian idealism)—we demonstrate how this stance, more nuanced than often assumed, resists traditional misinterpretations, especially those advanced by Critical Theory. Our analysis reveals that Nietzsche’s work converges with a speculative pragmatist position, a term employed by thinkers like Isabelle Stengers to describe their own theoretical approaches. This recontextualization not only clarifies Nietzsche’s methodological commitments but also illuminates underappreciated affinities between his thought and contemporary debates. Finally, we trace how Nietzschean ideas resonate in current philosophy, arguing that these developments, if we are right, shed new light on the broader implications of Nietzsche’s philosophical project in a broad sense.
