Nietzsche and Freud: Isomorphism between life and discursiveness

Abstract

This article will seek to realize that the way in which life is configured in terms of Wille zur Macht in Nietzsche and the tendency to sustain and promote a vital integrality in Freud (the latter, associated with the very objective of psychoanalytic practice) present a similar dynamic regarding how the discourse that refers to the vital is constructed —that is, life and discourse about life present a dynamic isomorphism—. From this, in the conclusion a perspective will be displayed that articulates the discursive development in the works of both, establishing that, when comparing them, it is also possible to speak of a discursive metaisomorphism.
