Abstract
Mental obsession means repeated, unwanted, uncontrollable thoughts which causes unusual anxiety and makes one do obsessive actions, in response. These actions seem to reduce anxiety and be protective; However, not only they do not cure, but also they sicken more by acting as a self-attacking force: Obsessive actions do not come from a will to rehabilitate, but from a will to retaliate. Mental obsession is usually known as a disorder or desease, and it’s regarded and interpreted from a psychiatrical or psychological perspective; But free from these perspectives, this article conducts a philosophical analysis of mental obsession based on “ressentiment” and “bad conscience” –key concepts of Nietzsche’s Geneology of Morals. As a result of this analysis, what underlie mental obsession are instinctive forces that can not discharge themselves outwardly and thus, turn inwards; they create and employ a bad conscience, in order to attack the owner of themselves –the patient.
