Abstract
Nietzche uses consistently the words health and illness in his writings; however these are widely different from the general health concept advanced by WHO. While being extremely subjective, his view of health is dynamic and equivocal, but at its foundation stands the problem of the living, condensed around how do we live our lives. Historically, the views of health have been placed in religious categories and in moral values. In Nietzche's view, the sin consciousness itself has is origin in Christian morals and it's morbid to be cajoled into religion by interpreting illness and insanity as being the result of sin. According to him, health and illness are not opposing concepts and it's not too much to say that by treating the subject of illness, he makes a criticism of Christianity. However, we can consider that Nietzche denies not Christianity itself, but the principle of life after death and the pessimistic view of life. Our study intends to demonstrate, by following the terms health and illness, that the love to live and will to live is inherent in Nietzche's destructive and offensive philosophy.
