В статье рассматривается интерпретация взаимосвязи исторического опыта и многообразия культурных миров, предложенная О. Шпенглером. Демонстрируется влияние на ее формирование наследия И.В. фон Гёте и Ф. Ницше. В контексте работы раскрываются антропологические основания трактовки исторического опыта Шпенглером, обращающимся к его видению в ницшеанской перспективе вечного возвращения и воли к власти, генеалогической стратегии понимания прошлого. Отвергая субстанциалистско-прогрессистские классические схемы историософского теоретизирования, Шпенглер исходил из существования в истории монадологически непроницаемых для внешнего наблюдателя культурных миров. Их становление он понимал во многом под влиянием трактовки Гёте «прафеномена». В контексте статьи учение Шпенглера о понимании существующих во времени культурных миров на базе исторического опыта интерпретируется как вариант герменевтики. Характеризуются его имманентные противоречия. The article is focused on the interpretation of the relationship between historical experience and the diversity of cultural worlds proposed by O. Spengler. The influence of the heritage of J.W. von Goethe and F. Nietzsche on its formation is revealed. In the context of the work, the anthropological foundations of Spengler's interpretation of historical experience are studied, referring to his vision in the Nietzschean perspective of eternal return and the will to power, as well as the genealogical strategy of understanding the past. Rejecting the substantialist-progressive classical schemes of historiosophical theorizing, Spengler proceeded from the existence of monadologically impenetrable cultural worlds in history. He understood their formation largely under the influence of Goethe's views on the «praphenomen». In the context of the article, Spengler's approach to the understanding of cultural worlds existing in time on the basis of historical experience is interpreted as a variant of hermeneutics. His doctrine immanent contradictions are analyzed.

Does talking about the triumph of the 1986 People Power EDSA Revolution still make sense nowadays? When the ideals of this glorious revolution are now nothing but contents of Philippine history textbooks and items of the culture industry, do we still need to re-imagine it? These are some of the reflective questions that will challenge and guide this paper‟s architecture. In what follows, the author will push all the possibilities for a Nietzschean re- thinking of the EDSA Revolution as “ the experience of difference and an exemplar of ascending life. ” In the first part, an account of the nature of EDSA revolution will be illustrated; while in the second, the principle of the „ Will to Power ‟ and „ Eternal Return ‟ will be explained using Gille s Deleuze‟s rhizomatic eyeglasses. In the third, the narrative of the revolution, i.e., the process on how the Epifanio Delos Santo Avenue (EDSA) turned into an arena for collective-political action will be delineated. Furthermore, the concept of difference will be utilized in explaining the dynamic occurrences produced by the Dionysian assemblage of Filipino bodies. In the last, the challenge of a different return of the said revolution will be explained.

Nietzsche's critique of metaphysics, as the way of the overcoming of the modern interpretation of being, is based on his doctrine of will to power, which evokes a certain kind of the return to the Greeks. Therefore, the paper points to the close relationship between Nietzsche's notion of the will to power and the Greek notion of physis, which is primarily stated in Aristotle's philosophy. For this reason, the relationship between Nietzsche's and Aristotle's philosophy is also explained. However, the fact that Nietzsche interprets the being by the notion of will is the sign that he succeeded to rid of modern metaphysics only partly, for the metaphysical concept of will is the modern interpretation of the Greek concept of physis. Subsequently, Nietzsche's metaphysics holds some ambivalence, which is reason for different interpretations of his undertaking.

George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty Four (1949)and Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World (1932) stand as two powerful works of art that emanated from a mere disorder and fragmentation. To put it differently, this work of art emanated from a world that underwent an extremely rigorous political transformations and cultural seismology. This is a world that has witnessed an overwhelming dislocation. All those upheavals brought into being a new life, that is to say, a reshuffled life .A new life brings forwards a new art. This research, accordingly, attempts to put all its focus on two modernist visionary works of art that have enhanced a completely new system of thought and perceived the past, the present, and even the future with an entirely new consciousness. In the world of Nineteen Eighty Four and Brave New World, power seems to get beyond of what is supposedly politically legitimate. This power has paved the way for the emergence of a totalitarian system; I would rather call it a totalitarian virus. This system has emerged with the ultimate purpose of deadening the spirit of individualism, rendering the classes nothing but “docile masses”. I will be accordingly analysing how power becomes intoxicating. In other words, I will attempt to give a keen picture of how power becomes no longer over things, but rather over men according to Nietzsche’s philosophical perception of “The Will to Power”.

Итогом размышлений Хайдеггера над проблемой исторического опыта в ранний период формирования его взглядов стала метафизика конечности, феноменологически запечатлевающая «вотбытие» (Dasein) как несущего в себе историчность. Построения философа опираются на аналитику взаимосвязи опыта и временной составляющей его конституирования в творчестве Канта, Гуссерля, Дильтея и графа Йорка фон Вартенбурга. Хотя Кант подвергся острой критике Дильтея за тотальное забвение времени и жизни, он трактуется Хайдеггером как теоретик, чья концепция продуктивного воображения привела к идее создания критической метафизики. На базе феноменологического метода, воспринятого в учении Гуссерля, Хайдеггер провел аналитику «бытия-в» в книге «Бытие и время». Прочитав Дильтея в свете его диалога с графом Йорком, Хайдеггер предпринял онтологическую интерпретацию его учения об историческом опыте, воплотив ее в системе экзистенциальных характеристик такового. Переосмысление идей Дильтея привело его к центральному выводу метафизики конечности о том, что аналитика исторического опыта необходимо ведет к заключению об историчности «бытия-в», делающей возможным и постоянно воспроизводимым знание о минувшем. The result of Heidegger's reflections on the problem of historical experience in the early period of the formation of his views was the metaphysics of finiteness, which phenomenologically portrays Dasein as carrying in itself historicity. His constructions are based on the analysis of the relationship between experience and the time component of its constitution in the works of I. Kant, E. Husserl, W. Dilthey and Count P. Yorck von Wartenburg. Although Kant was sharply criticized by Dilthey for his total oblivion of time and life, he is treated by Heidegger as a theorist whose concept of productive imagination led to the idea of creating a critical metaphysics. On the basis of the phenomenological method adopted in the teachings of Husserl, Heidegger conducted an analysis of Dasein in the book «Being and Time». Having read Dilthey in the light of his dialogue with Count Yorck, Heidegger undertook an ontological interpretation of his teaching on historical experience, embodying it in a system of its existential characteristics. The reinterpretation of Dilthey's ideas led him to the central conclusion of the metaphysics of finiteness, that the analysis of historical experience necessarily leads to the conclusion that historicity is Dasein’s property that makes possible and constantly reproducible knowledge of the past.



Recognized as one of the most influential studies of memory in the late twentieth century for its elaboration of a ground-breaking paradigm for rethinking the relationship between the nation, territory, history and memory, Pierre Nora’s monumental project Les Lieux de mémoire has also been criticized for implying a narrow perception of national memory from which the legacy of colonialism was excluded. Driven by an increasingly critical postcolonial discourse on French historiography and fuelled by the will to acknowledge the relevance of the colonial in the making of modern and contemporary France, the present volume intends to address in a collective and sustained manner this critical gap by postcolonializing the French Republic’s lieux de mémoire. The various essays discern and explore an initial repertoire of realms and sites in France and the so-called Outremer that crystalize traces of colonial memory, while highlighting its inherent dialectical relationship with the firmly instituted national memory. By making visible the invisible thread that links the colonial to various manifestations of French heritage, the objective is to bring to the fore the need to anchor the colonial in a collective memory that has often silenced it, and foster new readings of the past as it is represented, remembered and inscribed in the nation’s collective imaginary.

The chapter reflects on Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights and brings into the discussion the works of Friedrich Nietzsche, Carl Jung, Simone Weil, and Hannah Arendt. It emphasizes Heathcliff's personality as an expression of the will to power, a theme that has been developed both by Arendt and Nietzsche. It will be argued that the will to power is the outcome of uproodetness, a notion developed and thoroughly examined by Simone Weil. Finally, the present study elaborates on Christopher Lasch and Carl Jung simultaneously and seeks solution to a problem that also characterizes the contemporary Western societies, the liquidation of norms and values (cultural updootedness, in other words), the destruction of the past, of a world within which human beings develop their own sense of personality and identity, a world that, simultaneously, functions as a positive simulator in order to avoid resentment and destruction.

This article attempts to outline the concept of power of Michel Foucault based on the major works that he wrote during his lifetime. Foucault asserts that power exists everywhere, especially concerning the relationship between power and discourse of knowledge. Here, for him, the will to truth is the expression of the will to power. It is impossible for the knowledge to be neutral and pure. Therefore, there will be always a correlation between the two matters, i.e. the knowledge contains power, just like the power contains knowledge. This means that power is one dimension of the relation. Where there is a relationship, there is a power.

É preciso compreender o que é um vírus e principalmente sua ação. Assim, trabalhamos o referencial nietzschiano, que intenta a construção de uma base teórica para fundamentar sua hermenêutica/perspectiva sobre a vida, sendo esta na vida, inexistido separação nítida/perceptível entre ciência, teologia, arte e filosofia.  Seguiremos aqui com a biologia (ciência), não divorciada da teologia, visando fundamentar a concepção de vontade-de-poder, numa dimensão filosófica. Na primeira parte, desenvolvemos a compreensão de que caos e cosmo (teologicamente e filosoficamente) são indispensáveis na constituição orgânica e inorgânica, entendendo que o mundo é um caos eterno e qualquer projeção de padrão, ordem ou objetivo é um mero antropomorfismo. Assim, entendemos que a luta, o polemos está estabelecido e, tudo isso pode ocorrer antes mesmo do corpo apresentar quaisquer sinais de enfermidades. Na segunda parte, retomamos o conceito de “eterno retorno”, degustando o aforismo 341.

Por último movimento do texto, apresentamos o para não concluir, que a guisa de um final de artigo, produz pontos elucidativos, aqui um ao qual destacamos:  A vontade-de-poder trabalha uma hermenêutica ao constituir o mundo como uma relação entre campos de força instáveis e em constante conflito e autoconfiguração. AbstractIt is necessary to understand what a virus is and, in general terms, its action. Thus, we work with the Nietzschean framework, which attempts to build a theoretical basis to support his hermeneutics / perspective on life, which is in life, there is no clear / noticeable separation between science, theology and philosophy. We will continue here with biology (science), not divorced from theology, aiming to base the conception of will-to-power, in a philosophical dimension. In the first part, we developed the understanding that chaos and cosmos (theologically and philosophically) are indispensable in organic and inorganic constitution, understanding that the world is eternal chaos and any projection of pattern, order or objective is a mere anthropomorphism. Thus, we understand that the struggle, the polemic, is established and all of this can happen even before the body shows any signs of illness. In the second part, we return to the concept of "eternal return", tasting the aphorism 341. Finally, we present the not to conclude that, as a way of concluding the article, produces elucidating points, one of them here highlighted: The will-to-power hermeneutically constitutes the world as a relationship between unstable force fields and in constant conflict and self-configuration.É preciso compreender o que é um vírus e principalmente sua ação.

<p>This paper studies about the relationship between power and (the will to gain) knowledge. It reviews such key points as that every human being has modalities of knowledge whose function depends on his/her will and that human being has the will to power in addition to the will to know. Both wills are inseparable. Human beings cannot reach the power without knowledge; and knowledge cannot be reached without strong will and modality of power.</p> <p>However, as this paper proposes, the will to power and the will to know are purposive; they are not without goal. In Islamic perspective, reaching a power is not for the power itself; rather, it should be directed to reach the ultimate goal of manifesting the ‘God values.’ Islam guides people toward the ‘<em>ilahiyah power</em>’ or ‘the Spirit of God’ as the ultimate goal of achieving power. As a result, the idea of power/knowledge should be completed by faith/power/knowledge relation.</p>
