Abstract

In his philosophical reflections considered mature, Nietzsche exposes what he understands as nobility, which disagrees with the more recurrent semantic value that the term assumed in modernity. Bearing in mind that the philosopher refers, repeatedly, to Thucydides and to Pericles' celebrated funeral speech, the present work aims to explore the relationship between some elements of that speech recorded by the ancient historian, and the way the German philosopher articulates his own understanding of nobility.
