Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In this paper we will present the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche’s main reflec-tions on the scientific enterprise, its relation to the metaphysical tradition, and how the German author drew on the nineteenth century cosmological discussion to develop a worldview that ultimately endorses a dynamic and more creative form of science, whose representations and values should not be separated from human interests.
