Filosofía, escritura y autenticidad. Algunos apuntes a propósito de Nietzsche y Wittgenstein

Abstract

Nietzsche and Wittgenstein lead two very different philosophical traditions. Nevertheless, they share a fragmentary way of writing that forces us to rethink the importance of the literary form that is given to thought. Motivated by the critique against the egalitarian and scientific spirit of the western culture, the styles of both authors put into question the ability of ordinary language and look for a hermeneutic key that allows the expression of authentity in the intuitive �and almost indescribable� field of aesthetics and religion. This paper analyzes Nietzsche's and Wittgenstein's writings as well as the reading instructions that they give, trying to determine in addition if the latter was a good reader of the formen.
