De la filosofia ca Wissenschaft a lui Kant la filosofia ca gaya scienza a lui Nietzsche
From Kantian philosophy as Wissenschaft to Nietzschean philosophy as gaya scienza

Summary/Abstract: Kant’s endeavour to establish philosophy as science sowed the seeds for the destruction of the traditional view of philosophy, understood as the queen of sciences or the science of ultimate principles. Developing his concept of “phenomenon”, the post-Kantian philosophy of the 19th century reached a new understanding of subjectivity, different from both the Kantian and the traditional ones. This understanding could no longer be reconciled with the idea of philosophy as science. Nietzsche’s portrayal of philosophy as a “gay science” is an attempt to cope with this new historical moment in which, since the age-old Truth had been transformed into a mere perspective, nihilism, as the immediate consequence, had to be overcome.
