It is often said that Nietzsche’s critique of metaphysics is in the realm of language. However, perhaps not enough emphasis has been placed on what such a critique implies for the practice that makes language an end in itself. In Nietzsche, the word “literature” does not only designate the object of literary criticism; as “fable” and “fiction”, is also an epistemological and ontological category where conceptions of the world and ways of accessing it are sedimented. For those who reject essences, literature is a strategic bet. The following article explores these questions taking as a starting point “On truth and lies in an extra-moral sense”, that tale of youth where Nietzsche elaborates his theories about the sign and the artist-philosopher, to suggest, at the end, a reading of the Übermensch from a possible worlds theory.
