This paper evidences a non-conceptual reading of Nietzsche (in the Aristotelian sense of “concept”): appealing to intuition rather than to deduction. In this perspective, consciousness, reason and the “self” lose their interpretative sovereignty. The ontological logos, which seeks essence in meaning, no longer prevails. Without such exegetical references, the preference for “intuition” assumes the body in its multiple dynamics and capacity for embodiment, coupled to the Sophist logos in its refusal to rationally “be” and “know”. They gain a place in this hermeneutic bias: the surprise of the unknown instead of the certainty of the known; the fluidity of the senses instead of the fixity of the concept; the kairos nuances (an opportune moment) and the being-to-be instead of the stasis of the substance and being. When readers interpret Nietzsche, they may establish and appropriate the arena of the senses - intuition as a “free spirit” - and not merely reproduce and systematize within the unity of the intellect, but deduce.

Keywords : Philosophy of Education; Nietzsche; Intuition Logos (Discourse) Sophism; Free Spirit.
