Abstract

The affirmation of Nietzsche in Ecce Homo, from Thus Spoke Zaratustra, guides an interpretation of the purpose. In the case, not only reading about philosophy but -mainly- writing, experimentation of knowledge, world experience. Not only in what has to do with the philosophy but mainly, as a bet of writing, experimentation of knowledge, world experience. That implies a particular way of approaching to the thought and the image: affirming the pensive power of this and the creative force of symbols of that. A style that, instead of describe, tries to know what means an immediate comprehension of the world: way of knowledge that interrogates, without been reduced to that, the boundaries of the discursive intelligence.
