Abstract

In the book Philosophy in the Tragic Age of the Greeks and the manuscript The Pre-Platonic Philosophers, Nietzsche realizes a rapprochement between Anaximander and Schopenhauer, showing on both a pessimistic philosophy. Based on this perspective of Nietzsche on these two thinkers, this article aims to highlight and to deepen this philosophy affinity, showing on both an ethical conception, metaphysical and cosmological laced with pessimism.
