BETANCOURT D, William. Nietzsche: Philosophy and Education. Prax. filos. [online]. 2009, n.28, pp.23-54. ISSN 0120-4688.

In the present work we propose to clear the sense of education starting with the general mark of Nietzsche's thouht as well as exposing the essential relation between philosophy and education in the autor. To begin with we will board the conception of education in Plato as a starting point for the comprehension in Nietzsche. Fron here we will point out the sense and reach of the relation between education and philosophy in both philosophers. In spite of the great existing difficulty in order to clarify the unique concept of philosophy in Nietzsche, we intend to base the idea of education from the criticism of the cultura that carries out; developing the concept as well as the sense of education in relation to his conception of the being of man and pointing out the possibility of his historical fulfillment. For that reason we board the topic of education in relation to the following aspects of Nietzsche's philosophizing: nihilism, transmutation of the values, will power, need and establishment of a new valuation, the being of man and the "last man". As a way of conclusion we try to present fron the essential relation between education and philosophy, relation founded in the conception of the philosophy as a preparation of the "superman", the investment of the essence of the education thougth by Nietzsche.

Keywords : Philosophy; education; cultura; nihilism; value; will power; lastman; superman.
