Abstract
In FW 110 Nietzsche criticizes the erroneous articles of faith indicating “enduring things”, “equal things”, “things, substances, bodies”. In the same way Erasmus of Rotterdam, in his Praise of Folly, makes a mockery of the philosophical inconsistences showed by the ideas of universality, form, first matter, quidditas, ecceitas and so on. Since a copy of Erasmus’ work is in Nietzsche’s personal library, the paper aims to show that Nietzsche’s reformulation of a gaya scienza in a humanistic way could relies on Erasmus’ thinking.File in questo prodotto:
