Sobre a utilidade das verdades de Nietzsche a respeito das mulheres

On the usefulness of Nietzsche’s truths about women

Abstract

In the aphorism 231 of the book Beyond Good and Evil, Nietzsche circumscribes that he is going to expose some truths about “the woman in herself ”, but they are just his truths. In this article, I intend to bring Nietzsche’s other truths about other women he makes appear in his works. Despite being his truths, my
objective is to show that it is a multiplicity always inserted in the opposition he establishes between women and the male tradition, which always disputes the elaboration of the woman. The way Nietzsche writes about “woman”, “women” and “feminine” provides useful perspectives for more contemporary feminism to carry
out the dismantling of moral categories, which are social tools restricted to male cultures.

Keywords: woman, Nietzsche, moral, male culture.
