The The ambiguity present in Nietzsche's relationship with skepticism

Abstract

This article is intended to discuss the relationship between Nietzsche and skepticism. In some passages the philosopher praises the skeptics, but in others, he comes to refer to them as decadents. Still, at certain moments of his text, Nietzsche claims to himself another type of skepticism: experimental and creator which, seen more closely, does not identify with the versions of skepticism affirmed during the history of Philosophy. Thus, in order to understand the ambiguity present in Nietzsche's relationship with skepticism, we divided our work into three sections. In the first, it will be sought to explain the understanding that the philosopher has about the question of truth, in contrast to dogmatic understanding. In the second section the objective will be to discuss the ways in which skepticism appears in the nietzschian text, in order to clarify the philosopher's view of this tradition. Finally, in the third section, the text will develop with Nietzsche's skeptical voice. This voice of his does not identify with the skeptical voices of yored. The nietzschian skepticism – creator – does not accept the paralyzing of the will, on the contrary, comes to life for the creation of new and aggrandizing possibilities of oneself.
