Abstract
The article intends to make explicit how Nietzsche, on the basis of an examination of the wanting phenomenology, composes an argument for his revisionist thesis that our wanting experience does not trace a real causal relation with our acts, the result of this being the breakdown of very ideia of moral responsibility in the direction requried by incompatibilists theories of will. An important premise of Nietzsche’s argument depends on a Theory of Types, according to which all our conscious thinkings have an epiphenomenical statute regarding unconscious psychology and agent’s physiology, which in turn traces to psychophysical types to which every individual must be linked. Finally it attempts to show that Nietzschean theory of will anticipates some results of contemporary empirical psychology.
