Who are “The strong of the future”?Rethinking Nietzsche’s philosophy from the accelerationist matrix

Abstract

Nietzsche’s posthumous fragment entitled “The Strong of the Future” constitute one of the two fundamental texts of the philosophical current called accelerationism (being the other text Karl Marx’s “Fragment on Machines”). However, even though Nietzsche’s posthumous fragment is a fundamental text of accelerationism, it lacks elaborateds interpretations within this movement. Considering these circumstances, it is proposed to examine critically the content of this fragment with the objective of offering a contextualized interpretation that allows to extract from its lecture a series of perspectives that highlight its emancipatory potential.
