A abordagem fisiopsicológica de Nietzsche na análise da moral em Humano, demasiado humano

Abstract

This study aims to introduce Friedrich Nietzsche's (1844-1900) physio-psychological approach, specifically when the philosopher analyzes morality in Human, All Too Human (1878). The research hypothesis of this dissertation is that, in the initial program of Nietzschean psychology, the proposal of a contribution to the history of moral sentiments has fundamental elements in the composition of the strategy for evaluating morality. Our hypothesis is formulated based on the following question: what is the status of psychology in the work Human, All Too Human? Based on this guiding question, we analyze how Nietzsche writes psychologically in his evaluation of egoism and altruism. We aim to demonstrate, through a structural study supported by source research, that the notion of psychology in the 1878 work is based on science and is part of the German philosopher's anti-metaphysical program. According to this approach, we affirm that psychology is a procedural analysis of moral concepts and feelings that aims to describe the affective-evaluative root of morality, starting from its physiological elements.
