O eterno retorno do mesmo e a subversão da noção de fatalismo

Traditionally, ‘fatalism’ is understood as a doctrine that teaches the rigidity of a fate that nullifies the power of human actions. This sense of fatalism is not, however, corroborated by Nietzsche. The author, nevertheless, does not abandon the term and understands it in a subverted sense. Considering this, the objectives of our work are: 1) to examine how Nietzsche understands the term ‘fatalism’ at some moments of hisworks; 2) try to show that the meanings of fatalism at these moments have a conceptual correspondence; 3) try to understand the notion of fatalism from Nietzschean cosmology.
