Abstract

In this paper, Nietzsche's reading of Jesus will be articulated with the capacity that Nietzsche's language presents when expressing his ideas, taking one of them, central to his perspective: the notion of life. From this, the objective will be to show how, from the specific result of the 'misunderstanding' that Paul makes of the message of Jesus, Nietzsche obtains a fundamental teaching in linguistic terms, from which the relationship between language and the concept of the life of the post-Zarathustra work unfolds.
