Friedrich Nietzsche, great health, decadenceAbstract
This article aims to investigate Nietzsche's transvaluation of all values, focusing on overcoming decadence as a physiopsychological condition through an experimental process of cultural diagnosis and "self-cultivation." Firstly, the task of the "philosophers of the future" for transvaluation is characterized, contrasting them with ascetic and dogmatic philosophers and scientists. Next, the concept of "great health" is explored as a physiopsychological constitution that drives self-overcoming. Finally, the article discusses how Nietzsche recognizes this "physiopsychologically healthy" disposition in his own life and work. Thus, it outlines an interpretation of the meaning of Nietzsche's philosophical endeavor and his self-designation as the "first" psychologist.
