We have summarized the essential of this book by the author. NIETZSCHE AND THE HISTORICAL SUBJECTS OF KNOWLEDGENietzsche, critic of positivism in the 19th centuryIn the XIX CENTURY, man becomes a scientific object, in which one has to think and know, being a problematic object, since he occupies the double place of a subject that he knows and an object to be known. This was arrived at from certain practical interests: the bourgeois class, leader of the Industrial Revolution, demanded a type of man "subject" to production, for which he needed to study man to manipulate him.
Hospitals, prisons and schools are established in social control organizations. Positivism will apply the method of natural sciences; Based on observations, he will establish facts, and formulate hypotheses that can become laws. Only what is observable and subsumable in the experimental method is scientific. Man is one more natural object; the psychic and social processes would be explainable from organic forms.
It is the culminating moment of trust in reason.
