To the revaluation of values, a discourse on cosmic forces became necessary

Abstract

Based on Scarlett Marton's interpretation, we attempt, in this article, to elucidate Nietzsche’s notion of the revaluation of values (Umwertung der Werte). First, we used the article A morte de Deus e a transvaloração dos valores to try to clarify what Nietzsche's aforementioned expression actually means. Next, we tried to make it clear that the revaluation of values is closely related to the German philosopher's cosmological proposal. To this end, we drew on the classics Nietzsche, Das forças cósmicas aos valores humanos and O eterno retorno do mesmo: tese cosmológica ou imperativo ético? Finally, we attempted to delve deeper into the logical relationship between the notion of revaluation of values and Nietzsche's cosmology, taking as a source of inspiration an interpretative thesis that we extracted from Nietzsche e Descartes: filosofias de epitáfio.
