The Argonauts of the ideal: elements for a metaphorology of the Nietzschean superman

Abstract

This article intends to contribute in the establishment of some parameters that allow to constitute a «metaphorology» of the Nietzschean superman, while it is considered that the application of an integrating metaphorology allows to better understand the critical thinking of the transvaluation of the Nietzschean hammer philosophy; in particular the use of the seditious metaphor as a strategy to think differently about the human condition established by Christian nihilism and the creative possibilities of the superman's invective in the face of the challenges opened by the «death of God».
