As an outstanding philosopher Nietzsche poses the question whether his creativeness persisted in spite of his deteriorating disease or appeared, among other features, as a consequence of his illness. A thorough psychopathological understanding of his last lucid year is attempted. He had an exaggerated self-esteem and grandiose sense of confidence and achievements. But his lack of insight did not lead him to engage in activities that could harm himself or his loved ones. Between January 1888 and until his ultimate deterioration in January 1889, Nietzsche was exceedingly productive. During this period, polar changes along with moderately overlapping periods appeared.
作为一位杰出的哲学家，尼采提出了这样一个问题：他的创造力是尽管疾病日益恶化仍得以持续，还是在其他特征之中，作为疾病的结果而出现。本文试图对他最后清醒的一年进行全面的精神病理学解读。他有过度的自尊以及对自身信心和成就的夸大感。但他缺乏洞察力并未导致他从事可能伤害自己或他所爱的人的活动。在1888年1月至1889年1月他最终病情恶化期间，尼采的创作极为高产。在此期间，出现了两极变化以及适度重叠的阶段。
