Abstract

The concept of Psychology is integral and fundamental to understand Nietzsche's thought because is directly connected both to moral investigations and to the will to power hypothesis. The present work aims to study the status and role of psychology such as Nietzsche defines in the aphorism 23 of Beyond Good and Evil. Considering of the complexity involved in this enterprise, we will delimit the scope of our research as from the investigation concerning the relationship that Nietzsche establishes between psychology and body to the realization of genealogical critique. Such objective aims to content the argumentative path that passes, fundamentally, by the study of the relationship that the dynamics that impulses of the body establishes with the modes of existence and therefore the way the psychology, and the body as a conductor and balise methodological can be identified for genealogical investigation.
