Abstract:
Reflecting on a recent French translation of a youthful work from Nietzsche, the author shows that the German philosopher would not be concerned in doing a logically detailed analysis of Pre-socratics texts, in articulating their fragments in an harmonious summary, neither in offering an original interpretation of their ideas. From his point of view, Nietzsche´s uniqueness - and Nietzsche had an unique expertise in transposing metaphysical, moral e cultural themes to the level of lyrical subjectivity - would be in presenting the magnificent adventure of the first Greek thinkers who, arising from a chaotic, fabled and mythological world, devoted themselves to the task of reconstruction of reality along the lighting lines of reason.
