A recepção da filosofia de Heráclito pelo jovem Nietzsche

In this article, we will address Nietzsche’s interpretation of Heraclitus’ philosophy in his early work. We will elucidate Nietzsche’s reading of the key concepts attributed to the Greek philosopher, emphasizing the importance that Heraclitus assumes in the first phase of Nietzsche’s thought as the primary figure among the so-called “pre-Platonic philosophers.” We will seek to highlight how Heraclitus emerges for young Nietzsche as the ideal image of the true philosopher, as well as the main proponent of a tragic philosophy, that safeguards the world of becoming through an aesthetic justification, underscoring the beauty and inherent necessity in all creation and destruction, through his concepts of “game” and “strife”.
