This article proposes to present a critical discussion of modernity, formed from the analysis of the modern world undertaken by Nietzsche. This one, in his vast contribution as a philosopher goesa round almost all works on topics that shape the conception of modernity, but in order to contemplate the purpose of this study, we will focus on the mature period of his thought. Considering that according to Nietzsche assimilation of modernity, this period would translate the moment of uninterrupted relations constituted primarily through valorizing judgments. With this, we will indicate a broad perspective of interpretation, however this is very important to understand the pluralistic conception of Nietzschean modernity, providing a way of valorising and affirmating life.
