Sobre o conceito de Natureza em Friedrich Nietzsche

Abstract

The aim of this research is to present the main points about the concept of Nature in Friedrich Nietzsche’s philosophy. Initially, it is intended to present and understand the relationship between Language and Nature present in the author's youth texts, such as: On truth and lies in a nonmoral sense (1873), Human, All Too Human (1878), Daybreak (1881). Afterwards, we’ll try to understand why Nietzsche understands Nature as will to power and how the philosopher criticizes modern sciences and philosophies; At this moment, we will use the works Beyond Good and Evil (1885), The Gay Science (1882), Twilight of the Idols (1888) and On the Genealogy of Morals (1887) and the Posthumous fragments to explore the nietzschean conception of nature. Finally, we will try to explore what the philosopher understands by human nature, based on the relationship between health and culture; here, as theoretical support we’ll use the following works: The Birth of Tragedy (1872), The Antichrist (1895), Nietzsche’s Animal Philosophy (2009) by Vanessa Lemm, and Nietzsche and the problem of civilization (2013) by Patrick Wotling.
