Nietzsche e a Metaforicidade da Linguagem em “verdade e mentira no sentido extramoral”

Abstract

This dissertation aims to discuss the metaphoricity of language in the text "Truth and Lie in the Extra-Moral Sense", by Friedrich Nietzsche. On the one hand, it presents the perspective that language is absolutely metaphorical, with the consequence that it is impossible to speak about itself without falling into a self-destructive discourse. On the other hand, there is the perspective that language is only relatively metaphorical and that it is possible, therefore, find an internal coherence in the text. To take stock of the two perspectives, it is necessary to bibliographically analyze the influences on Nietzsche in the making of the text, as well as to situate the relevance of itself in nietzschean philosophy as a whole.
