Abstract
This paper intends to stand out a fundamental element of Nietzsche's philosophy that has not received all the attention it deserves: the body as an axis of interpretation. To accomplish that, the author will put together the pieces of the puzzle that the posthumous fragments and the máture writings of the philosopher from Rocken are, finding some help in complementary bibliography that supports the point he is trying to make. This is a work of personal interpretation, carefully grounded in Nietzsche's texts, that aims to show the oblivion in which the idea of the body as a main line of interpretation is in. First it deals with the relationship between the concepts of force, value, mask and perspective, that allows the author to visualize the corporal foundation of the creation of appearances, and of the generation of values and interpretations. The ties between these main concepts of Nietzsche's proposal makes possible to stress the sense in which the body appears as a main fine of interpretation, and, finally as a centre from which interpretations are implanted.
