Multi-Layered Embodied Consciousness
Nietzsche as Phenomenologist September 22, 2021 Christine Daigle
Nietzsche's consciousness is multi-layered and embodied, with the body serving as 'grand reason' that repositions the ego as a tool rather than the seat of agency. Perspectivism emerges as a phenomenological feature, where the soul is a subjective multiplicity of drives and affects competing in dynamic interaction with the world, leading to multiple perspectives. Aphorism 36 of Beyond Good and Evil summarizes his view of intentional consciousness as self-constituting and world-constituting through will to power.
