Arte y metafísica en Zambrano y Nietzsche

Resumo

On the basis of an understanding of language as originally metaphorical, Nietzsche raises with the philosophical and scientific discourse the question of their claim to truth, their desire for a pure literalness. He puts against philosophy everything that philosophy had expected to set up itself against: myth, eloquence, poetry, allegory. With regard to this point there is a clear affinity between Nietzsche and Zambrano. However, there is a difference between them in the way they raise this accusation of impropriety against the allegedly adequate and literal language of philosophy and science. Especially, the young Nietzsche makes this accusation from the reception of Schopenhauer’s and Wagner’s conception of music as immediate symbolization of the will of the world. Whereas Zambrano states we can get to a deeper truth by poetic reason, a truth provided by the original feel and nonrational experience of reality or life.
