%0 Journal Article %T Fisio-psicologia e linguagem em Nietzsche: um vi¨¦s de cr¨ªtica ¨¤ racionalidade %A Jorge Luiz Viesenteiner %J Princ¨ªpios : Revista de Filosofia %D 2010 %I Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte %X The study aims to analyze Nietzsche's critique of Western reason as well as the epistemological elements that provide support to rationality. Through the mapping of some texts from Nietzsche¡¯s last period of his philosophical production, this study is the association between reason and d¨¦cadence through a trajectory that begins with Socrates and unfolding throughout modernity, in order to determine the manner in which a certain decadent process results in the "perversion of the reason", i.e., a decaying dynamics of the reason that brings together two large corruptions: "fetishization" of the reason¡¯s categories and deception that philosophers of knowledge incur when entangled in a "web of grammar". The analyses try to indicate both a physio-psychologist as a linguist and philologist Nietzsche. %K Grammatical illusion %K Physio-psychology %K Rationality %U http://www.principios.cchla.ufrn.br/27P-53-74.pdf
