FERNANDES, Cláudia Mascarenhas. Rupture or transvaluation?: The Freud's essays on sexuality. Analytica [online]. 2015, vol.4, n.6, pp.89-111. ISSN 2316-5197.

This article articulates the overturn of Freud's concept of sexuality and the Nietzsche's concept of transvaluation of all values. It was necessary to go as Nietzsche transvalued the body and soul notions in the philosophical tradition. The body is raised to a positively valued category in relation to the soul. Taking the body as the more fundamental is undoubtedly what subverts all kinds of metaphysic's orders, and in this sense, the Nietzsche's example of the binomial body/soul remains favorable to the discussion of how Freud also subverts the modern episme. Freud separates the drive and the object to modify the current idea of perversion in his time. Its changes the notion of sexuality and founded a new field of knowledge. The question is to know if this reversal that Freud promotes is just a reversal, a rupture with the thinking of the time, or a transvaluation of values, according to Nietzsche.

Keywords : Freud; Nietzsche; Transvaluation of values; Sexuality.
