O Conceito de natureza no pantanal e a filosofia de Friedrich Nietzsche: contribuições para a geografia e seu ensino

Abstract

Based on elements that form the concept of the nature of Friedrich Nietzsche, this dissertation discusses the meaning of the concept of nature that structure the discourse about the Pantanal in textbooks used in teaching Geography in Mato Grosso do Sul. The textbooks examined project an image of Pantanal as something beautiful, or as part of nature and as a natural resource, which emphasizes the elements where vegetation, climate, topography, water. The human element is largely absent, or is something external that generates environmental impacts or exploits its resources. This image of the same thought is criticized by Nietzsche when he deconstructs the notion of universal subject. It is the image of the world built by the contemplative, sovereign, that believes to be in possession of the truth. The language is the metaphysical concept that is used in this construction. In this sense, it is believed to express what he has Pantanal of essential, the nature. What we mean are the main features of this concept, which reverberates in the sense of nature Pantanal currently present in the minds of people: paradise and natural resources. In both human is not nature. It is something exotic and potential wealth. Human, when part of it, is something foreign to the usual sense of human, the civilized and urbanized. This point Nietzsche's critique stands because it will question what is this human, there is no definition, so there is no such nature as defined by us as strange or object.
