Psychology and Phylosophy in Nietzsche Article Summary

The man is possibly the only entity able to reflect on itself. This
discussion, however, is not always the same way, that is, under the same
prism (as a kaleidoscope that gives us images in different colors of
the same crystal). The commanded set of the various ways we can reflect on
ourselves  set the area of human knowledge we call Social Sciences.
Thus, to reflect on what we are and we do, we use several approaches,
various forms of "look" the same object of study, in this case, the
man. The philosophy is a discipline of Social Sciences. There are other
disciplines who study the human being, such as sociology, history,
anthropology, political science. While psychology is the aggregate area
of the Health Sciences, for dealing with the man it is still a "human
science." But the philosophy and psychology disciplines are constructed
on different principles to "look" at ourselves. The philosophy lends
concepts to psychology. The psychology is a modern science as a
philosophy is an ancient science. Moreover, the psychology may compel
the philosophy  to relativize universal speeches ,
rescuing the creative subjectivity of each human mind and the
recognition that each conscience is a particular awareness of the
reality that the fence. Initially the psychology wants to verify the
empirical correlation of the various types of thought or feeling with
defined conditions of the brain, assuming that mind are individual and
finite. Always seems more appropriate to a new science following
methods of empirical experimentation, repetition and selection of
events searched, neutrality and objectivity, which are premises of the
natural and biological sciences. Then, the scientific and industrial
recorded on the XIX and XX centuries indicated that far from
speculation metaphysical philosophy of the human thought and feelings
would be better understood if follow the same laboratory methods of the
other natural sciences - after all human beings it is a being natural.
But would the psychology and psychologists able to understand the human
behavior and consciousness in its various forms? It is ultimately the
psychology can understand other human beings? It is clear that
knowledge always walks near the power. The adequacy of psychology to
the area of knowledge of the natural sciences - more proper health - it
may be captive of the technical-scientific logic of the market. Thus
the efficiency of psychology should arrest the predict and control
human actions, as an arm of policy and perverse power of the modern
state (Michel Foucault)? ** The example of the Eternal Return of
Nietzsche, briefly can be understood well: a finite space of infinite
forces, things are repeated. Leaving the scientific explanation of this
possibility of hand - because really that is not the most important
issue for the psychological theory and philosophy psychotherapy - the
fact is that if for a moment imagine that possibility that there will
be a return on myself - at least nothing as "unsuspect" as a
resurrection! -- The more real and ethical premise is that I want to
come back, I mean, I have pleasure in return. So, I do not "live every
moment as if it were the last," but "live every moment so that the wish
to live again"! If life is the best life I want to be "eternal", to be
happy in my way, first, because it simply does not make sense to live
lives of others and for others if not live by myself and to fully enjoy
your joy - because slavery would be forever?; second, because obviously
I will not want to return repeating the same anxieties, fears and pain
of today, where there would be nothing to add, to progress. Life is
mine, the return in eternity is mine, and the logical and rational
desire to capture fully the potential to be happy as I am, the way I
am! It is in this sense that Nietzsche will oppose the action to the
reaction - types of forces, the statement to the denial - qualities of
forces, condemning the nihilism at the service of all forms of
conviction and danação life - religion, power, the asceticism. And what
strength the human being that "weakness" of attitude, that
"degeneration" of the will? Basically the resentment and remorse. Now
the philosophy and metaphysics is corporifica presents real: it is
psychological categories incrustadas the moral conscience by millennial
(from Socrates to Hegel). The resentment weakens the man as much as to
identify the other concern is as guilty, the remorse depresses the man
when the concern is I condemn the error or "sin". Both resentment and
remorse put on the shoulders of the man a burden that does not support
load, mainly because it does not need charging. Life Now it seems
meaningless and the more your anxiety and anguish to condemn more and
more the life it others - denies it is the individual and capability
of being in becoming.
