Le molteplici osservazioni di Nietzsche intorno al corpo rappresentano senza dubbio uno snodo ermeneutico fondamentale nell'ambito della riflessione morale sul tema della corporeità. Al tempo stesso, la ricostruzione del suo pensiero su questo delicato argomento va a costituire un banco di prova decisivo per ripensare criticamente la ragione, provando a rivedere la sua posizione all'interno del mondo dell'umano. Il leitmotiv del corpo lega ben salde fra loro le aspre critiche che Nietzsche rivolge alla civiltà occidentale, la quale, da Socrate in poi, ha visto il predominio di una razionalità astratta e calcolante ai danni di una ragione incarnata e più umana. Dagli scritti giovanili a quelli della maturità, dallo Zarathustra agli ultimi pamphlet polemici, passando per la miriade dei frammenti postumi. Disseminato in quasi tutte le sue opere e spalmato su un arco temporale di quasi vent'anni, il suo interesse per la dimensione corporea dell'umano non perde mai di tensione.
----------
Nietzsche's various observations about the body represent without a doubt a fundamental hermeneutic crossroad in the area of the moral reflection on the topic of corporeity. At the same time, the reconstruction of his thought on this delicate subject constitutes a decisive test bed to critically re-think reason, seeking to review its position within the world of the humane. The leitmotif of the body firmly binds to one another the harsh critiques which Nietzsche moves to the Western civilisation, which, from Socrates onward, saw the dominance of an abstract and calculating form of rationality, to the detriment of an incarnated and more humane reason. From the early writings to the mature ones, from the Zarathustra to the late polemical pamphlets, through the myriad posthumous fragments. Scattered around almost all of his works and stretching over almost twenty years, Nietzsche's interest in the corporeal dimension of the humane never drops tension.
