In an important aphorism of Beyond Good and Evil Nietzsche writes that anyone who believes in «immediate certainties» such as «I think» encounters a series of «metaphysical questions». The most important of these «problems of intellectual knowledge» is the existence of an ‘I’, as much as our believing it to be the cause of thinking. This article will deal with this observation – that in many ways is in compliance with the ideas of the
Austrian scientist Ernst Mach – and will show how Nietzsche describes the «ego» and, therefore, which are the grounds of his view on the mind-body problem.
