Abstract

This work presents to ideal of the nieztchean Übermensch interpreted from the perspective ¨weak¨ of Gianni Vattimo as an alternative in the sense from heideggerian Verwindung to the pattern of the modern subjectivity. This ideal is not only presented as the form of more capable life for the new late-modern conditions of existence, but also as part of a ambitious project that tries to redefine to the old concept of emancipation of the tradition hegelo-Marxist in terms of reduction of violence. This way, it is tried to respond to the difficult question of why a new humanity ideal would be preferable in the current situation post-metaphysics, when it is no more possible to continue invoking to the notion of correspondence to legitimate the speech.
