Nietzsche and science

experimental living

Abstract

The work focuses Nietzsche’s writings ‘intermediary period’, especially Human, All Too Human. In this period, Nietzsche experiments disruptions regarding himself and the environment, noticeable on the 1886 prologues and Ecce Homo. We try to expose how what is viewed as ‘natural’ or ‘artificial’ may become usual or useful by morals and metaphysics in the history of life and thinking. The presentation follows a ‘scientificized’ point of view – opposed to or apart from the ‘metaphysicized’ order – of knowledge and knowing. Both Nietzsche envisages these processes and helps to understand psychologically-philosophically on the middle work (Human, All Too Human, Daybreak and The Gay Science), which we judge to provide his thought with the genealogy understood here as combination of scientific methods and results appropriated by the author.
