The aim of this article is to explore the quarrel of Nietzschean Nachlass from a well-defined perspective: to explain the creative process in the posthumous-published relation, which flows into Nietzsche’s style. It starts from the premise there is a physioliterary experiment, that is, a certain type of composition process that gives body to Nietzsche’s work and broadens the notion we have of his philosophical and literary production. In a pro-Nachlass stance, it is argued it is not indifferent to the understanding of Nietzsche’s style to investigate his creative process, which is shown in his writing habits and other written resources present in the Nachlass. To this end, the article is divided into four main parts, which deal with: 1) the Nachlass polemic in the reception; 2) the historicity of writings as overcoming; 3) the semantic-methodological potentialities surrounding the question of style; and 4) the case study with FW 125, in view of the stylistic imperative of sensitivity (NF-1882, 1[109]), in the posthumous-published relation. We conclude that claiming sensitivity as a thought expression mechanism implies a subversion of philosophical discourse.
