The term «posthumous», which was frequently used by Nietzsche in his writings, has been attributed as a quality to his work, because its unprecedented nature prevented his contemporaries from understanding it. This paper discusses in detail the term specifying, first, that, as only men are posthumous, only they can have a posthumous birth; second, trying to clarify why Nietzsche did not expect anything of their current readers because of the distance he took in his writings, for the reason that he sought being misunderstood. Thus, we will show that, when Nietzsche referred to his posthumous birth, he alluded to the future or outdate dimension of his thought.
