Abstract

In Thus Spoke Zarathustra, it is possible to relate elements of the overhuman and of the eternal recurrence to the animal and to support that the animals know immediately and naturally the eternal recurrence, because they are in the moment of time and are amoral bodies. The hypothesis constructed here is that the notion of animality in Nietzsche is inserted in the amorality and in the non-chronological time, and refers to the supramorality of the overhuman and to the supra-chronological temporality of the eternal recurrence. Thus, the notions of moment and forgetfulness in the animal refer to the eternal recurrence and to the amorality, which make room for the overcoming of morality in the overhuman and the overcoming of the chronological time. This hypothesis about animality, morality and temporality may indicate that the overhuman refers to the return of some aspects of animality, mainly through the thesis of the redemption of time.
