PROCHNO, Caio César Souza Camargo. Facing and celebrating the body in its ambiguities. A proposal of the mature philosophy of Nietzsche. Ide (São Paulo) [online]. 2016, vol.39, n.62, pp. 15-27. ISSN 0101-3106.

The article attempts to demonstrate how Nietzsche, in his philosophy of maturity, goes beyond the traditional view of the body dogmatically established in the history of Western philosophy. The body is thus understood as a multiplicity of forces in constant struggle for increases of power. It is an organizational unit rather than a unit of substance. In this sense, the body exhibits permanent ambiguity since the domain settings change throughout time. To profess the body as an organizational unit is, therefore, strong cause for celebration.

Palavras-chave : Body; Power; Ambiguity; Force.
