Nietzsche en Colombia. Vicisitudes de su recepción (1909-1992)

Abstract

The project entitled Nietzsche in Colombia. Vicissitudes of its reception (1909-1992) seeks to analyze the process of reception of Nietzsche in the country, attending to the way in which Colombian thinkers and philosophers received and used concepts such as will to power, super-man, eternal return, death of God and nihilism. This study deals with the work of Carlos Arturo Torres, Fernando González Ochoa, Danilo Cruz Vélez, Rafael Gutiérrez Girardot, Ramón Pérez Mantilla, Rubén Jaramillo Vélez, Estanislao Zuleta, Nicolás Gómez Dávila and Darío Botero Uribe, works that are chronologically dated between 1909 and 1992. This tracking will be done taking into account the social history of philosophy in dialogue with other historiographical approaches, as well as the contributions of hermeneutics. In order to carry out this research, emphasis will be placed on the historical, social and cultural context of the Colombian reality of the 20th century, as well as on the editions of the texts available to Colombian academics, translations, magazines, intellectual networks, study plans, etc. All these aspects serve to determine the possibilities and limitations with which these philosophers told in their philosophical work. The objective of this research, still pending in Colombia, is to contribute to the understanding of the country's philosophical process, while at the same time allowing us to rescue the tradition of our intellectual production.
