Abstract

The purpose of this article is to present Nietzsche’s thought as “humanist”. To this end, we study the meaning of the term “humanism” for Nietzsche’s commentators, for himself and for some of the authors he was able to read. It is shown that his humanism is free from morality, but it is seen through the love for man expressed above all in Also sprach Zarathustra. The notion of superman is then considered and, even more, it is considered how it depends on the disgust for a failed type of man.
