Abstract

Since a reading of young Nietzsche’s criticism of the desire of knowledge that guides modernity – particularly regarding to the distinctions he operated between: a) two postures facing reality: the theoretical optimism and the tragic pessimism; and b) two types of man: the theoretical and the artist ones; and c) two kinds of philosophy and philosophers: the one of the desperate knowledge and the other, of the tragic knowledge – we aim to defend, as an access-key to nietzschean’s thought from the period of The Birth of Tragedy, the presence of a larger, gnosiological distinction between two forms of access to real: via knowledge [Erkenntni?] and via understanding [Verständnis] – ???????? [epistéme] and ?????? [gnôsis] –, leading respectively to the targets of science and wisdom.
