| Abstract | Although in technically Friedrich Nietzsche is not considered a philosopher of science, it seems to us undeniable that scientific practice has brought him fruitful reflections on problems that would be confronted by thinkers in the following centuries. Attentive to the science of his time, especially in what concerns physics and biology, Nietzsche realizes that many scientists still maintain the belief in the notion of causality, as a means of providing knowledge of reality in ontological sense. From scrutiny of his work, it is noted that Nietzsche sustains that the “overestimation of causality” is anchored in the belief in the “self” as acting. Influenced by the physics of Ruggero Boscovich and by the philosophies of Arthur Schopenhauer and Friedrich Lange, Nietzsche defends the fictional character of the notion of causality, taking it as incapable of serving as a compelling premisse to support the construction of an ontological representation of the world. From the historical point of view this notion, he argues, is above all an useful fiction – an impulse that contributes to ordering a chaotic world – which was at the beginning used to serve the development and survival of the human species. |
