Per un'analisi del rapporto Foucault-Nietzsche

In my research it’s possible to show the existence, in Foucault, of three Nietzsches. A Nietzsche who influenced the History of madness, a tragic and dionysiac Nietzsche who refuses the thought of the modern ratio, the metaphisic subjectivity of the cogito and who permits Foucault to give the experience of madness a positive value and to understand, at the same time, the experience of the contemporary literature language. A Nietzsche of the généalogie, that allowed Foucault to deepen the relation among language, ratio and subjectivity, through the concept of epistème. Finally, a Nietzsche who gives value to Greek wisdom in the direction of the free spirit and a subject who is aware of his own finitude, and who can assume, for that reason, the risk of creating the values of his own existence. These “different” Nietzsches run through the thought of Foucault and – as I underlined in my work – they do represent its theoric stages.
