SUFFERING – PASSION – PASSION TO PHILOSOPHIZING. THE PERSONAL DIMENSION OF FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE’S PHILOSOPHY

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to indicate the two expressions of the approach that I propose – “passion to philosophizing” – in the life and work of Friedrich Nietzsche: its personal dimension and the desire to change oneself. The methodology of this work is based on using the notion of “passion to philosophizing” as an interpretational tool of Nietzsche’s life and philosophy, which includes analysis of his works and letters and biographical material. First, the term “passion” is defined, with indication of its connections with the phenomena of “suffering”. Next, the phenomenon of “passion to philosophizing” is defined. Then the issue of the personal dimension of Nietzsche’s passion to philosophizing is discussed. The last part discusses Nietzsche’s passion to change himself, with reference to Safranski’s and Deleuze’s interpretations.
