Abstract

This study presents, through Nietzsche’s texts and with the support of secondary literature, how Michelangelo’s sculpture constitutes itself as one of the secret sources in the elaboration of the Nietzschean concept of Übermensch. For the
proposed, we analyze how much the German thinker valued throughout his work the idea of the “philosopher as sculptor” and how, in his work Thus Spoke Zarathustra, such an idea was decisive in the elaboration of the concept of Übermensch, having
Michelangelo as a secret source in this matter.
