This project investigates the originality of the poetry of Alberto Caeiro, one of Fernando Pessoa's heteronymous, within modern and contemporary thought. By combining an original experience of immediate reality, an unlearning of modern/metaphysic abstractions, and a language reconciled with things themselves, Caeiro's poetry can help transcend the dichotomies of modern thought, such those opposing subject and object. It can also solve some of the impasses of Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology, such as the articulation between body and nature, and the passage from a mute perceptual experience to language. Therefore, we consider the Caeirian experience of thing, body, language, and its denial of Reality understood as time and as desire.

In view of the current understandings of violence, which tend to present it always negatively, Nietzsche's genealogy allows us to understand that violence also has a positive character in the historical course of the West. It enabled the establishment of civilization, to the extent that it shaped a particular human type. The morality of morals and primitive law were mechanisms of violence and cruelty that made man responsible, predictable, and obedient to standards. By renouncing the immediate satisfaction of instincts, one has internalized the guilt and one has instituted the civilized man. But in this same course grew and dominated the nihilism.
