Abstract

This paper intends to make evident the dynamism of the impulses according to Nietzsche’s perspectivism. We emphasized, above all, the way impulses are presented by Friedrich Nietzsche as an important key for understanding morals and life. As such, we explored how the relationship among the impulses leans on the doctrine of will to power. We understand that this has an important feature: it supplies critical instruments for the analysis of morals and of man himself. To achieve this goal, we used Nietzsche’s texts, with emphasis on works published during his lifetime; however, we also recognized the importance of Nietzsche’s posthumous fragments. We also made use of some commentators’ writings when their opinions were relevant for the comprehension of Nietzsche’s.

Keywords: Nietzsche; impulses; will to power; perspectivism; morals.
