Nietzsche and the Transcendence of His Time: Between the Past and the Future

Abstract

The article argues that Nietzsche's philosophical discourse surpasses modernity without fitting into postmodernity, because this thinker criticizes the articulation axes of modernity, as interpreted by Habermas, and distances itself the postmodern condition Lyotard's perspective. We emphasize Nietzsche’s rejection of traditional discursive bias through his critique of the specular subject. He introduces the concept of a “social structure of many souls” as a way of revising and surpassing modern subjectivity. At the same time, a central problem remains, the hierarchy of values.This shows that Nietzsche does not abandon criteria, even while rejecting foundational principles. For this reason, his thought must be distinguished postmodernity.
