The School of Humanities & Languages are proud to present a seminar in the field of Philosophy presented by Professor Christine Daigle, Brock University.

"Nietzsche as Phenomenologist – Reevaluating Consciousness"
My paper will show that Nietzsche was a phenomenologist avant la lettre. In his middle period works, Nietzsche explicitly embraces the Enlightenment spirit and aims to shed a critical eye on received metaphysical, moral and religious notions among which that of consciousness. In reaction to the traditional view of consciousness as transparent, rational and disembodied, Nietzsche proposes a reevaluation of the concept of consciousness. I will first analyse a selection of aphorisms from the first chapter of Human, All Too Human. Doing so, I will demonstrate that Nietzsche offers what amounts to a view of consciousness as intentional, one that is close to Husserl’s. Examining passages from Dawn, The Gay Science, and Thus Spoke Zarathustra, I will flesh out this reevaluated concept of consciousness and explore how Nietzsche conceives of it as multiple and inseparable from the body, that is, as a ‘subjective multiplicity.’ I will also analyse closely aphorism 354 of The Gay Science in order to show that it supports a phenomenological view of consciousness as multi-layered. This allows him to claim that “the way is open for new versions and refinements of the soul-hypothesis and such conceptions as ‘mortal soul,’ and ‘soul as subjective multiplicity,’ and ‘soul as social structure of the drives and affects,’ want henceforth to have citizens’ rights in science.” (BGE §12)
