GAMA BARBOSA, Luis Eduardo. Nietzsche and the interpretant life. Prax. filos. [online]. 2014, n.39, pp.171-196. ISSN 0120-4688.

Against an alleged naturalism in the Nietzsche's philosophy, this article reconstructs the Nietzschean notion of life under the topic of interpretation. It is intended to show that, for this author, the problem of life exceeds all strictly biologistic framework and is; concerned, instead, with an ontological dimension, as the interpretation represents the configuring activity of sense, through which every living being generates and sustains its own reality. The analysis of this process leads to identify several ways of development of this interpretant life: the life as a merely natural phenomenon, the symbolic life proper of the human beings and, finally, the life of knowledge as a way of life truly philosophical. From this differentiated approach of the interpretative activity new light is shed on the notion of Nietzschean perspectivism
