scientific rationality, critical project, art, life, ascetic idealAbstract
Nietzsche’s reflections on Science show the relevance of his thinking both for general Philosophy and for Philosophy of Science. His extreme challenge is not driven by reasons alien to Science, but for the sake of its own rationality and critical approach, insofar as Nietzsche’s challenge is nothing more than the radicalization of this critical project. However, because of the gap that always occurs in critical reflection, the project is possible only by placing one’s own perspective in a position external to Science, a place that for Nietzsche is provided by art. Only from the standpoint of art can we discover not only the theoretical meaning of Science to life, but also the practical one, insofar as it may be useful to us in order to question Techno-Science’s domination in our daily living.
