Abstract
The notion of sublimation is critically important as regards the physiopsychology of Nietzsche. The pathway of impulses sublimation is that of increasingly better-evaluated objectives, and variation in satisfaction of means and purposes allows for new impulses combinations to arise, as well as new forms of support between them, which in turn ascertain psychic pleasure maximization. The purpose of this paper is to analyze sublimation according to Nietzsche's two fundamental perspectives. On the one hand, as a form of psychic satisfaction through transformation and subtilization of impulses targets (Subliemirung), and on the other hand, as a form of elevation (Erhabenen).
