Abstract
[Autom. eng. transl.] "To what extent can truth tolerate incorporation? This is the question, this is the experiment." (F. Nietzsche, The Gay Science, af. 110) "The cell, at first, is rather a member than an individual; in the course of development the individual becomes more and more complicated, more and more a group of members, a society. The free man is a state and a society of individuals" (F. Nietzsche, Posthumous Fragments, V/II, 11 [201]); "The individual is an egg" (F. Nietzsche, Posthumous Fragments, VII/I, 24 [36]). The hermeneutic challenge taken up and faced, and at the same time relaunched, by Einverleibung and "social organism" is entirely contained in these fragments of Nietzsche. Models and Metaphors of the Relationship between the Individual, the State and Society in Nietzsche, a monograph by Marco Mantovani, published in 2022 by Inschibboleth, in the Passages series directed by Umberto Curi and Carmelo Meazza. In fact, after hundreds of thousands of publications on Nietzsche, writing about the philosopher from Röcken increasingly represents a challenge: more than anything, the undertaking is to try to find and follow paths that are in some ways still unpublished or little-traveled within his kaleidoscopic philosophy and in the whirlwind of critical debates, sometimes still incandescent, other times now cooled. This is what Mantovani intends to do, who wants to fully explain and rehabilitate the decisive role that Einverleibung plays within Nietzsche's thought, going so far as to interpret it both as a repository of Nietzsche's philosophical laboratory and as a robust Leitmotif that runs through his entire hermeneutic parable and links together its fundamental junctures.
