Abstract

The text of this article is the result of reading the work of Nietzsche Assim falava Zarathustra. It consists of arguments about the philosophical content present in the poetic discourses that compose the referred work. It seeks to show how the poetic content from which Nietzsche establishes the concept “Zarathustra” is indicating this. On the other hand, we try to make it understand that the condition of poetic in itself is not what defines the philosophical that poetic discourses express. It may even lead to doubt that philosophical content can be identified or found in any kind of poetry. This paradox manifests the challenge of having to find philosophical knowledge beyond what is given and accomplished.
