Description
Apoyándose en Nietzsche, cuando es posible, y en otros autores, cuando es necesario, este texto aborda ―tomando como base, las tres transformaciones del espíritu enunciadas por Nietzsche al comienzo del Zaratustra, y la noción de voluntad de poder―, la posibilidad de inferir cuatro éticas, desde el punto de vista del poder: una ética de la sumisión orientada hacia la obediencia, una ética de la resistencia orientada hacia la rebeldía, una ética de la supervivencia orientada hacia la dominación, y una ética de la supervivencia orientada hacia el empoderamiento. El propósito de este trabajo es mostrar la inconveniencia de las tres primeras éticas para un adecuado ejercicio de la democracia, y plantear, en cambio, la pertinencia de una ética del empoderamiento.

The purpose of this paper is to expose the inconvenience of the first three ethics for an adequate exercise of democracy, and to propose, instead, the relevance of an ethic of empowerment.
