Abstract
The paper reconstructs Ferenczi's unique and largely neglected physiology of pleasure. It highlights the prominent place of the libido in Ferenczi's writings, the transition from the physiology of use to the physiology of pleasure and the role of trauma in Ferenczi's work with a special emphasis on the beauty and plasticity of the body, the relations between its organs as well as the adaptive potential, the Orphic powers, and the natural vigor of the human organism. Ferenczi's theoretical assumptions and his powerful images of the human organism are examined in the light of Goethe's, Schopenhauer's, and Nietzsche's philosophies.
