The animal that makes metaphors from an onto-teleological perspective in the thinking of the young Nietzsche

Abstract

The article examines Nietzsche's youthful writings focusing especially on the rhetorical studies that Nietzsche worked on in his early Basel years. Based on that, we try to think about an overcoming of the anthropic principle and an anthropological decentralization that the author develops in some texts that were not published in his time. From the so-called rhetorical turn, Nietzsche begins to interpret the human being as an animal that makes metaphors. From this interpretation, it is sought to show how the territory of thought is prepared to pursuit an onto-teleological comparison of everything that lives, which allows us to trace an itinerary of the indications of his thought in terms of an anthropologically decentralized post-human perspective.
