| Sumario: | We present the criticisms by Nietzsche of the modern concept of “progress”, understood as an improvement in the human condition in its material and moral perspective, and of the way such concept was revealed in the philosophical interpretation of history and in the development of modern technologies as an extension of Christian morality. To Nietzsche, the idea of progress is a fable resulting from a poor existential interpretation of life, as such a concept does not necessarily represent a vital development and improvement of the creative forces of human beings, meaning perhaps their organic decline and a valuative distancing from the immanent experience of existence. |
