The mobile thought objection and its Anaxagorean origins: a contribution to the discussion on the problem of time in Nietzsche

  • Eduardo Nasser Universidade Federal de Pernambuco

Resumo

This paper consists of a study of the mobile thought objection (MTO), an objection presented by Nietzsche against the Eleatic tradition, which provided the most original epistemological grounding for his adherence to a temporal realism. The MTO was not Nietzsche's invention, as it had been previously employed by the opponents of Kant's theory of the ideality of time. However, although Nietzsche was familiar with this modern origin, he argues that MTO was conceived by the pluralists of antiquity, in particular Anaxagoras. Given that, I aim to demonstrate that this assertion lacks historical support and can only be sustained based on classicist premises.
