Nietzsche como um filósofo perfeccionista

Abstract

This paper proposes a reading of Nietzsche’s substantive moral view as a version of perfectionism with several distinctive theoretical features. It discusses his apparent grounding of perfectionist values in essentialist claims about the will to power, which can be read either teleologically or not; his antiegalitatrian or “maximax” version of consequentialism, with distinctive implications for the value of egoism; and his basing more specific perfectionist values on formal properties of a person’s goals such as their extent, especially in time, and the degree to which they are unified or make for the “organic unity.”
