MENDONCA, Samuel. Human mass and aristocratic education in Nietzsche. ETD [online]. 2011, vol.13, n.01, pp.17-26. ISSN 1676-2592.

The aristocratic life indicates the individual education, education of loneliness and education of distinction that requires self-criticism as an element for self-overcoming of the great individuality. Therefore it is not about an education for everybody but for the ones that have reverence for themselves. In this article we intend to present the reasons that base an aristocratic education in Nietzsche which make sense in the comprehension of the pettiness, the fearful, the stupid, in the human mass. For this analysis the context of the conditioning of imprisonment and human mass education find space. The used methodology in the investigation consists in the bibliographical research, once it is a philosophic research on education. The outcome results point to the need of a new man’s profile capable of getting over the state of insignificance, pettiness and fear.

Keywords : Friedrich Nietzsche; Aristocratic Education; Mass; Fear.
