Algumas considerações nietzschianas sobre corpo e saúde

Abstract

Trying to emphasize the importance of some Nietzschean considerations for the understanding one may have about body and health, the present work starts from the critique formulated by Nietzsche to metaphysics and Platonism to discuss his point of view about the relations between body and conscience. Based on this and having as main reference the concept of will of power, the current work tries to show how the body could be conceived as a metaphor to which Nietzsche resorts in his critical interpretation of subjectivity and cultures.
