A superação a partir do prólogo e da alegoria do equilibrista na obra Assim falou Zaratustra

Abstract

The general objective of the dissertation is to offer an understanding of the concept of overcoming from the Prologue of Thus Spoke Zarathustra by the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. With this interest, a detailed study of the Prologue was made, in which one tried to analyze, in each of the ten paragraphs, the central themes and concepts, so that, finally, it was possible to verify how each theme or concept are in favor of the overcoming of the character Zarathustra. However, we made attention to the allegory of the equilibrist, appointing an analogy that can be made to the dangers and risks involved in the path of selfovercoming. For so many objectives and interests, this work is structured as follows: in the first chapter, in which §1 and §2 of the Prologue are explored, is dedicated to the analysis of the following themes: the transformation and decline of Zarathustra and the death of God; the second chapter, which deals with §§3, 4 and 5 of the Prologue, is applied to the analysis of Zarathustra's annunciations of the following themes: superman, the will of power, and the nihilism of the last man; the third chapter, committed to §§6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 of the Prologue, devotes itself to probing the failure and new experiences of Zarathustra. The final objective of these three chapters is to lay the foundations for the hermeneutic proposal offered in the fourth and last chapter: a special attention to the analysis and interpretation of the allegory of the equilibrist, evidencing it as a pedagogical artifice on the path of overcoming
