Friedrich Nietzsche on Body - Dictionary of Arguments
Danto III 142 Thinking/body/Nietzsche/Danto: Nietzsche tends to assume that just like a thought comes when it wants to and not when I want it to come - my body moves when it moves, and not when I want it to move. Danto III 150 Thinking as such does not need to be conscious. The term unconscious thinking is not contradictory.(1) Private language/language/Nietzsche: paradoxically, it follows from this that allegedly private words - words referring to our own inner states - form the basis and main component of our common and public language. Danto III 265 Body/Nietzsche/Danto: My idea is that each specific body strives to become master over the whole space and expand its power (...) but it continually encounters similar aspirations of other bodies and ends up arranging itself with those ('unite') that are sufficiently related to it.(2) >Unconscious, cf. >Private language/Nietzsche. 1.
