In the present dissertation, we use the nitzschean concepts of body and great health as tools to reflect upon the current medical practices.Initially, keeping in mind what Nietzsche does for metaphysics, through his conception of the body, we intend to confront it with the Cartesian conception.We show that Nietzsche considers the distinction between res cogitans and res extensa, which is the most finished version of the soul and body separation, the foundation of the metaphysical way of thinking.Secondly, presenting what the philosopher understands by great health and decadence, we will examine the manner by which, in taking the body as the matrix for the senses and values, he makes of his genealogical criticism a typological diagnosis.We will then see, in what way, through the essay, experimentation and creation, he subverts the current conception of health and reaches his typological self-diagnosis, considering himself a healthy type, despite his constant sickness episodes.Finally, we will reflect upon the current conception of health and medical practices resulting from it.With the focus on the diagnosis criteria offered by the nietzschean philosophy, we will investigate whether through our health practices we don't end up promoting the décadence
