A retomada da sofística em Nietzsche

Abstract

We are dedicated to the study of how the recovery occurs in Nietzsche's sophistry. We follow the assumption that there is a connection between Nietzsche and the Sophists, and therefore, we dialogue with major studies nearing Nietzsche and sophistry. Our first objective is to show an overview of the research on the relationship of Nietzsche to sophistry. To then show some errors in the usual way of relating to the Nietzschean philosophy with sophistic movement. Our main onslaught is against the usual way of rapprochement between Nietzsche and the doctrine of man-measure of Protagoras. We also discussed the place of Callicles in Nietzsche's thought, mainly because the general view that approximates Nietzsche and the Sophists, the doctrine of Callicles, on the right of the strongest, is related to the Nietzschean idea of beyond-man. We believe that neither the approach of the Protagoras neither Callicles, there are consistent arguments for a resumption of sophistry in Nietzsche. Our defense is that the sophist Gorgias is the keyword in the understanding of Nietzsche's relationship with the Sophists. Our argument has its basis in the importance of the historian Thucydides to the Nietzschean conception of history. We support an influence of sophistic rhetoric, whose main representative is Gorgias, both in presentation as in the way research work tucidideano. Such influence will result in a connection between Nietzsche, Thucydides, sophistry and history. In this joint presentation, our study shows the importance of the fictional element for both Nietzschean reflections as to the rhetoric of Gorgias sophistry relating this to the importance of design history of Thucydides.
