Há espaço para uma concepção não moral da normatividade prática em Nietzsche?: notas sobre um debate em andamento

Resumos

Este artigo está estruturado em três seções. Na primeira procuro mostrar como a busca por uma concepção alternativa de normatividade prática na filosofia moral contemporânea guarda afinidades com o projeto nietzschiano de crítica da moralidade. Na segunda seção examino os méritos e as limitações da tentativa de Brobjer de filiar Nietzsche à tradição grega da ética das virtudes. Na terceira seção examino as distintas motivações da crítica de Nietzsche à solução moral para o problema da normatividade prática e defendo a tese de que esta diversidade de motivações torna sua posição instável, oscilando entre uma versão consequencialista e uma não consequencialista do perfeccionismo. Não discuto exaustivamente, mas sugiro que a versão não consequencialista é mais consistente com alguns compromissos importantes da filosofia de Nietzsche.

Nietzsche; filosofia moral; normatividade prática; perfeccionismo; consequencialismo; ética das virtudes


This paper is divided in three sections. The purpose of the first section is to show how the search for an alternative conception of practical normativity by contemporary moral philosophers keeps affinities with Nietzsche's attempt to overcome morality in the nineteenth century. In the second section I assess the merits and limitations of Brobjer's attempt to affiliate Nietzsche to the ancient Greek tradition of virtue ethics. In the third section I present the different motivations behind Nietzsche's critique of the moral conception of practical normativity. I claim that this diversity of motivations makes his position unstable and helps us to explain why he oscillates between the consequentialist and the non-consequentialist view of perfectionism. Although I do not discuss it exhaustively in this paper, I point out some reasons why Nietzsche should have advocated a non-consequentialist view of perfectionism.
