Living Philosophy: On the Experimental Derivations of the Nietzschean Critique of Nineteenth-Century European Culture and Education
Abstract
In this paper, we approach the work of Friedrich Nietzsche in order to analyze the way in which his early criticism of German educational institutions and specifically of the university philosophy of his time progressively derives in the outlines of a late conception of the philosophy, founded on life itself as a means of knowledge through "experiment". The Nietzschean diagnosis is critical and its resolution, a great challenge for future thinkers who are required to experimentally live their words beyond the books. The culture of the essay emerges as the final horizon for this philosophical-experimental praxis.
