RESUMO

The value attributed to the body along the occidental thought history was connected to resentment: in the form of desinterest, sacrifice and submission. From the moment where the basis of existance had starded to serve to the moral weight, either for the just adequacy to the rules of the polis, either for the religious ascesis of the jewish-christian tradition, the body had not anymore the dionysian enthusiasm of the old greek people. For Friedrich Nietzsche, the loss of this dionysian spirit and the moral weight of the set values of our cultures took the man to the disdain for the life and by itself. To transvalue the culture substituting, for example, the values of resentment and guilt for the ones of the force and vitality, it would be the most important human project. In reference to the body, this text finds a possible transvaluation by means of the immanence of this body, of its materiality and its activity; contrary pheomena to classic metaphysics that disdained the corporal. The education, in this direction, would assume central role, being the motor force of this transvaluation by means of actions taken from the body, as immanent, material and active. We will find some signs of this actions in a education of the senses, the intuition and the metarmophoses.
