THREE MEN IN A BOAT: NIETZSCHE, ADORNO AND CIORAN. ON TRANSMUTATION OF VALUES

Summary/Abstract: The thinker who lived with intensity nihilism until the end, its prophet,who managed to overcome it, was Friedrich Nietzsche. To go with him beyond nihilism and skepticism, it is necessary to free ourselves of preconceptions, because there is already a philosopher profile that goes beyond good and evil, and whose features related to the reception of truth by pulses of living, by feelings and sensitivity intermediate forms of the will, the senses and not reason.The direction of nihilism, and still poor image we have about Theodor Adorno, extremely complex because of his writings addressed primarily to an elite, we find affinities in fragments full of lessons for our times. From a stylistic direction, Emil Cioran completes the picture of "Three Men in a Boat" indicating the Styx shores. We propose to examine, at least in part, the treasure from their boat, always in danger of sinking due to their weight, as it remained from ancient times: the burden of knowledge.
