Abstract

The aim of this paper is demonstrate how the recognizing of a "rhetorical turn" in Nietzsche, results in a marked "tension" featuring certain ambiguity about language in their thinking. Thus, to present this mobilization in Nietzsche within the discussion of the language, we examine three key aspects of this guidance for what constitutes a semantic impossibility: first, we identified the so-called "rhetoric turn"; Second, we deepen the theme from the analysis of Nietzsche's acession to Gerber's thesis which rhetoric is the "essence" of language; and, thirdly, we scrutinize the legitimacy of the distinction between proper language (natural) and inappropriate language (rhetoric). Therefore, this problematization of language held by Nietzsche appears unfold over his work and can be seen from the heterogeneity of discourse that his later writings include.
