“…12 In her effort to synthesize Nietzsche's corpus, Kofman makes the same point, opining that Nietzsche gives special significance to the analogical imagination which prompted him to assert that philosophy remains "a prolongation of the mythic instinct." 13 However, the act of perception for Nietzsche is inherently metaphorical, since it necessitates language as an independent sphere to be relationally connected, and such relationality is absent in the inorganic sphere where objects just appear as they are.…”

“…It is the power of conceptual schemata that has brought about a distinctly human world which is invested with "peace, security and consistency," but this does not really explain what Nietzsche calls the "drive to form metaphors, that fundamental human drive which cannot be left out of consideration for even a second without also leaving out human beings themselves." 18 The 12 Ibid. Given this self-conscious and recurring exercise with metaphors, the existential mind learns to adapt to and with its inherent flexibility, and thereby lives with the world metaphorically.…”

Abstract:For centuries, humankind accepts truth to be something static and global but Nietzsche has famously argued that truth is a metaphor and for that matter changeable and perennially evolving. As I hope to show here, this radical view has resulted out of Nietzsche's meta-commentary on language and logic. The main purpose of this article is to examine the key points of Nietzsche's arguments and the soundness of their conclusions, and thereby bring out their underlying critical intent.

“…Thus, in both Unfashionable observations [68] and The Dawn of Day [69], he criticizes the world of appearance, of theatre, of representation, as something originated from the primacy of money, which requires a showcase. Moreover, in his Genealogy of Morals, he censures the belief in culpability as the mere imitation of a concept from the economic sphere: guilt is nothing else but a simple debt and the resentment that follows as a consequence of the primacy of chrematistics, which tends to think that everything has a price and that everything has to be paid for.…”

Economicism and Nihilism in the Eclipse of Humanism

This article is based on the conviction that the major problems nowadays are not technical, but ethical, and are incumbent on homo qua homo. The origin of these problems is the advancement of economicism as a supreme interpretation of human and social reality, which means the primacy of the "market" and considering human beings in terms of what they have rather than what they are. Economicism emerges in "modernity" and assumes that everything that does not have market value is either devaluated or rejected. In consequence, the human being has been devaluated and has turned into a simple object of the market. "Postmodernity" mixes economicism and techno-scientificism (chrematistics and instrumental rationality) with nihilism (absence of values), giving way to a technological and decadent capitalism that has erased "humanism" and the very idea of the human being. Thus, we are in urgent need of a humanist recovery of the "human" based on a rehabilitation of ontology.

“…Nietzsche gave the advice to "calm the imagination of the invalid" so that they not "suffer more from thinking about [their] illness than from the disease itself" [34].…”

Shortly before his death in 1995, Kenneth B. Schwartz, a cancer patient at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), founded The Kenneth B. Schwartz Center at MGH. The Schwartz Center is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting and advancing compassionate health care delivery, which provides hope to the patient and support to caregivers and encourages the healing process. The center sponsors the Schwartz Center Rounds, a monthly multidisciplinary forum where caregivers reflect on important psychosocial issues faced by patients, their families, and their caregivers, and gain insight and support from fellow staff members. Metaphors illuminate complex issues LEARNING OBJECTIVESAfter completing this course, the reader will be able to:1. Describe aspects of metaphor in oncology, especially the military metaphor. Explain how the humanities have framed the military metaphor in medicine.3. Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the use of metaphor in the patient-caregiver relationship.Access and take the CME test online and receive 1 hour of AMA PRA category 1 credit at CME.TheOncologist.com CME CME PRESENTATION Facilitator:We often talk to patients about fighting their cancer and winning the war, and that is often how we think about oncology. We invoke military imagery to help us describe the ordeal our patients go through. We have a very interesting panel to help explore this issue and reflect on how the language we use impacts on the caregiver-patient relationship.
