Abstract

In this theoretical-conceptual project, we propose an investigation dedicated to the analysis of the nietzschean psychography by Lou Andreas-Salomé in his 1894 book, Nietzsche in his Works. To this end, we will identify and discuss the thematic categories present in her study of the life and work of the German philosopher. We will also seek to substantiate and debate the conjectures of Andreas-Salomé from other authors who have studied the Nietzsche case, both philosophically and psychologically. The book Nietzsche in his Works, by Andreas-Salome was the object of few studies. We hope to demonstrate the originality of the psychological thesis defended by the author, and that it can be useful not only for the understanding of the biography of Nietzsche as for the discussion of his philosophy. The work will be carried out within parameters appropriate to theoretical and conceptual studies in psychology. The research plan covers a program of interpretive and critical readings of texts, analytic-structural reviews, and scientific reporting.
