The philosophy of wandering in Nietzsche and its interpretation as a nomadic power by Deleuze
Abstract
This article investigates the philosophy of wandering and the philosophizing subject in the work of Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, focusing primarily on The Gay Science, On the Genealogy of Morality, and Beyond Good and Evil. The study explores how the traditional metaphysical subject, the Cartesian Ego cogito, is transformed into a subject in becoming through a continuous movement across diverse philosophical terrains. The first two sections of the paper examine the nature of Nietzschean wandering as a mental movement that critiques the value of truth and highlights the subject of wandering as a product of opposing forces acting upon it. The final section addresses the interpretation of Gilles Deleuze, demonstrating how he characterized Nietzschean thought as a nomadic power situated in direct opposition to "state thought". Ultimately, the research defines this philosophy as a permanent de-founding (apo-themeliosi) that remains open to external forces and the production of difference.
