Corps et incorporation dans Nietzsche

Nietzsche’s perspectivism is not a kind of antiscientific relativism, but is grounded on the notion of a biological bias, that guides knowledge and interpretation. Being alive means having a certain perspective on the world, and perspective is equivalent to will to power. The organism in Nietzsche is a plurality of forces linked by a common “incorporative” aim. Knowledge itself is a form of incorporation alike. Any organic life works 1) ordering the plurality of forces in different forms and rhythms, 2) opposing forming powers to other forming powers, in an endless polemos, 3) evaluating these hierarchic forces in order to expelling or incorporating other forces. Considering Nietzsche’s relationship to biological studies I sustain that, following Goethe, in his view any body can appear as a community, a plural community made of hierarchical differences. The living flesh of the organism is a polemic and tensional reunion of unequal ones– in this way biology implies some political issues, and especially the following one: in which form may be given the unity of a fighting community?
