TRANSVALUATION OF VALUES, IN NIETZSCHE, AND PROFANATION, IN AGAMBEN

Abstract

We aim to realize a primary investigation about Nietzsche’s and Agamben’s philosophys on its political aspects. Concern us analyse the concepts of transvaluation of values and profanation, and in which sense they are crucial to the comprehension of ideas of great politics and coming politics. We reflect about Nietzsche’s and Agamben’s critics to democracy, regarding the singularities of each philosophical project and its theoric arrays. The petty politics reactive were pointed by Nietzsche as a symptom of nihilism. The great politic could be a counterpoint, result of an elevation of culture. With profanation category, Agamben mentions that things, including politic, must be withdrawal of temple, desecrated. In this sense, beyond the forms-of-life, opens the possibility to resistences and lines of flight by the potency of “not”, searching for a new politics.
