Resumo (PT): Apesar da ausência de obras de Nietzsche na biblioteca de Fernando Pessoa, existem indícios de uma forte influência, tanto positiva como negativa, através de leituras de segunda mão. O seu heterónimo menor, António Mora, parece moldado por uma concepção popular de Nietzsche, seguindo os heterónimos anteriores ao favorecer um paganismo clássico em detrimento do cristianismo, visto como anti-natural. Contudo, Mora afasta-se de vários críticos da época da I Guerra Mundial, identificando o militarismo prussiano justamente com o pensamento nietzschiano. Este artigo argumenta que, embora influenciado por Nietzsche, Pessoa tinha uma compreensão limitada da sua filosofia, restrita ao lado dionisíaco e desenfreado da vida, alheia à visão apolínea e optimista da humanidade.
Abstract (EN): While no books by Nietzsche were found in his library, there is evidence that Fernando Pessoa was strongly influenced, positively and negatively, by secondary readings of his work. Pessoa's minor heteronym, António Mora, appears to be modelled on a popular conception of Nietzsche, and follows earlier heteronyms in rejecting Christianity as being against nature, and favouring instead classical paganism. However, Mora differs from some other commentators at the time of the First World War in identifying Prussian militarism as in a direct line of descent from Nietzsche. This article argues that although influenced by Nietzsche, Pessoa had a limited understanding of his philosophy, seeing only the wild Dionysian side, untamed by the more optimistic Apollonian reading of humanity.
