This book explores the concepts of sickness and health in Nietzsche's late philosophy, showing that Nietzsche viewed these concepts not as dialectical opposites but as events that each assert themselves and merge into each other in a constant circular motion. Nietzsche thereby brought together philosophy, psychophysiology, and aesthetics: the "Dionysian artist" thus became the ideal of a healthy life.
