Nietzsche como filosofo do cultivo seletivo racializado

Portuguese translation of an essay originally published in English as "Nietzsche as a Philosopher of Racialized Breeding,” in The Oxford Handbook on Philosophy of Race, ed. Naomi Zack, Oxford, Oxford University Press, 2017, pp. 54–64

Resumo: Os nazistas ofereceram uma leitura distorcida de Nietzsche ao assimilar suas ideias raciais às suas próprias, mas a leitura dominante de Nietzsche hoje é igualmente falsa na medida em que minimiza o aspecto racial de sua filosofia. A tendência de seus apologistas tem sido focar em seu anti-antisemitismo, mas os principais problemas surgem de seu endosso à escravidão racializada e, especialmente, ao cultivo seletivo racializado ou eugenia. As ideias de Nietzsche sobre raça não eram especialmente originais, ao contrário do que dizem alguns comentadores; elas estavam muito enraizadas e eram informadas pelos teóricos raciais de sua época. Pelo menos um desses teóricos, Otto Ammon, o elogia explicitamente por ter reconhecido a importância da raça para a cultura. Quando Nietzsche advoga o cultivo seletivo de uma raça mais forte, ele não tem em mente um programa circunscrito ao cultivo ou à educação, mas a defesa de uma forma de seleção artificial.

Abstract: The Nazis offered a distorted reading of Nietzsche by assimilating his racial ideas to their own, but the dominant reading of Nietzsche today is equally false in so far as it minimizes the racial aspect of his philosophy. The tendency of his apologists has been to focus on his antiantisemitism, but the main problems arise from his endorsement of both racialized slavery and especially racialized breeding or eugenics. Nietzsche’s ideas of race were not especially original, contrary to some commentators; they were very much rooted in and informed by the racial theorists of his time, at least one of whom, Otto Ammon, praised him for recognizing the significance of race for culture. When Nietzsche advocated the breeding of a stronger race, he did not have in mind a program that stopped with cultivation or education; he was advocating artificial selection.
