NIETZSCHE AND NIHILISM: TOWARDS A SCHOOL OF THE SPIRIT

Abstract

 This paper aims to address the contributions of Nietzsche's philosophy to reflect on education, especially on some specific points, namely: ethics, nihilism and the metamorphosis of the spirit. The paper is composed of two independent essays, but interconnected by the effort to relate Nietzschean thought to the field of education, thus proposing criticisms of the contemporary educational model and outlining paths to reflect through the concepts of Nietzsche's philosophy. Thus, the objective is to establish a relationship between Nietzschean criticisms and the atmosphere of teaching in the 21st century.
