NIJENSOHN, Malena. De las perspectivas provisorias de Friedrich Nietzsche a los fundamentos contingentes de Judith Butler. Mora (B. Aires) [online]. 2018, vol.24, n.1, pp.1-10. ISSN 1853-001X.

In this paper I will analyze the concept by Judith Butler 'contingent foundations', to connect it with the idea of 'provisional perspectives' in Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy. I consider that Nietzsche's criticism of the metaphysics of substance is the ontological basis to ethic and political reflections in the 20^th Century, in which Butler is inserted. Thus, "Death of God", which is the critique of 'foundation' and 'absolute truth', is the theoretical frame propitious for the post-foundational developments by Butler. I will first address the critique by Nietzsche to the traditional occidental thinking. I will then analyze the difference proposed by Butler between postmodernism and post-foundationalism, to delineate her theory and her proposal of thinking about 'contingent foundations'.
