Diversidade e hierarquia: a psicologia de Nietzsche enquanto tipologia hierarquica

Abstract

This dissertation analyses the psychology concept on Nietzsche?s philosophy and its relation to the typology and hierarchy. First of all, it was verified that the meaning of the Nietzsche psychological research is based on the concept of power will which is considered by the German philosopher as an interpretation of the world and not a description. The power will has as mean characteristic to affirm the effectiveness as a come of strengths in fight for more power and depose of truth the metaphysics oppositions. These strengths, or impulses, are understood as power quanta that differ each other and they relate with all of other quanta in order to intensify. Therefore, the power intensity is what differ the strengths. This way, we understand the fight of the strengths as a domination process, which produce impulses complex or hierarchies. The development of these hierarchical configurations of strengths comes from the dynamic establishment of commander and commanded, that is, from dominion relations that are expressed in ways of life, human types. Types, however, are not understood as essential manifestations of a being, but as strength relation?s symptoms and their hierarchical configurations. These symptoms are the object of the psychology proposed by Nietzsche, and not the human soul or conscience. The human types are analyzed by the German philosopher through two great and focused perspectives, one of ascendancy (powerful and heavily hierarchizated impulses) and another of life?s decadence (weak and anarchic impulses). From this general aspect of Nietzsche typology, is verified the importance of the types, considering that for the appearance of a type is necessary the existence of its differentiated, because there is a relation of domination between them. Thus, the job of the nietzschean psychologist is, with grounding in the interpretation of the world as power will, to evaluate the various ways of life and make them hierarchical. Therefore, Nietzsche psychological evaluation corresponds to differ and make hierarchical the humans types, understood as symptoms of strength relations, in affirmation, growth, strength and overcome ways of life and negation, decline, weakness and conservation ways of life. This way, it is concluded that Nietzsche psychology is an evaluation exercise of various human kinds, understood as morphology and theory of the power will improvement
