O encontro com o mal. O jovem Nietzsche diante da doença (1844-1862)

The encounter with evil. The young Nietzsche in the face of illness (1844-1862) Abstract: This article examines a very short period of Nietzsche’s youth, from his birth to 1862. During these years, Nietzsche gradually discovered that the enchanted world in which he was born, protected and safe, was not immune to evil and disease. This study examines all the diseases that Nietzsche has experienced inside the house, through his father, relatives and friends. Even before his biography recorded pathologies that he would remember ever after (headaches, eyes, belly, etc.), Nietzsche met the face of evil in the historical knowledge that his time recorded (cholera, scarlet fever, typhus) leaving indelible traces in his imagination.
