Abstract

I analyze the Nietzschean critique of the dualistic postures that devalued the bodily condition of man: they forgot the instincts, the affections and the passions. Dualism exalted a so-called subjective substance – soul, spirit, consciousness, etc. – which would constitute the essential aspect of man. Nietzsche, on the other hand, values the body, considering it the guiding thread for the understanding of all human issues. Following this thesis, I reflected on a singular vision of subjectivity: carnal subjectivity, in which the essential of the human being would be constituted by his vital, instinctive forces

Key-works: Nietzsche. The body. Subjectivity. Carnal subject. Instincts.
