A fisiopsicologia de Nietzsche: o diagnóstico e a elevação da cultura como tarefa do médico filosófico

Human productions, according to Nietzsche, are physiological expressions, i.e. expressions of a multiplicity of drives in struggle for expansion of power. This perspective plays a central role in the reflections of the maturity of the philosopher: his Physiopsychology develops a diagnosis of the cultural productions and indicate which manifestations have a healthy character and which of them are sick. Nietzsche assumes the role of physician inasmuch as he is concerned with a remedy, with a counter-ideal, with an adversary of the civilization understood as domestication of the human drives. The Nietzschean physician antagonizes that one proposed by the philosophical tradition: he is not a physician of souls.
