The purpose of this paper is to investigate the position of physiology in Nietzsche’s understanding of aesthetics in line with his critique of the subject. This exploration is inspired by the emphasis on the concept of physiology in Nietzsche’s overall philosophy and is based on the view that his transvaluation of the subject through the method of genealogy forms the ground for the “death” of the artist. The main argument of the paper is that Nietzsche’s physiological understanding paves the way for the emergence of the body as the unconscious artist.
