Philosophy, Existence and Post-modernity

Abstract

This article is a reflection about the crisis on the paradigms of modernity. It is based on the critic about the traditional metaphysics
conception of being and also based on the notion of subject of the modern philosophy. This is a study about the human existence on the contemporary society, as destruction of values of the modern world, mainly associated to the corporeity theme. Also, it is a presentation of new values and new philosophical approaches present in a pluralist and complex cultural reality. It analyses the human existence in a Nietzschean and Heideggerian interpretation which is inserted in the context of post-modernity and which has as its reference the post-modern philosophy in a new ontological and anthropological perspective, considering the philosophical idea of Gianni Vattimo.
