La subjetividad corporalde Nietzsche a la neurociencia

Zusammenfassung

This paper highlights the decisive importance of bodily subjectivity in order to open a philosophical and hermeneutical horizon that surpasses both idealism and positivism. This model of bodily subjectivity finds its roots in Nietzsche's philosophy. In this sense, we critique the spread of neuroessentialism as the only scientifically accredited way of self-understanding, when it is actually a particular and contingent interpretation of the world. Moral neuroeducation should overcome such sterile reductionism, because the experience of the living body in the lifeworld cannot be understood in purely neuroscientific terms. Furthermore, bodily subjectivity captures feelings, emotions and instincts, which in turn need a hermeneutical framework in order to be interpreted and understood.
