| Abstract | |
This work investigates how Nietzsche conceives the relation between science and philosophy. Scrutinising his writings from youth to maturity, we hope to show that the author seeks to place himself on a situation he finds in his time: in the second half of the 19th century, science, recognised as the cognitive and cultural authority, claims autonomy and sovereignty over philosophy, the object of ample discredit. We must point out that, opposing the separation of science and philosophy, Nietzsche intends to establish between them bonds of dependence, subordination and authority. These relations, as he understands them, are complex inasmuch as they are set in diverse and interrelated spheres, namely, in the domains of values, knowledge, culture and life. It is our intention to note that, based on an aristocratic worldview, Nietzsche reserves for authentic philosophy the prerogative of a higher task, that is, to solve the problem of value in general and, by extension, to determine the value of science for culture and life. However, the author of Zarathustra admits at the same time a cognitive requirement to philosophy that must be satisfied by the use of particular sciences. Thus, while philosophy has the right to exercise axiological authority over science, when considering goals for culture and life, science, in turn, has the right to exercise cognitive authority on the axiological task of philosophy. It is our aim, therefore, to explain and investigate the central problem raised by Nietzsche\'s positions, asking whether, taken as unavoidable by virtue of his cognitive authority, the sciences do not end up assuming also the authority which he seeks to reserve to philosophy in the axiological sphere.
