O existencialismo no livro do Desassossego

Abstract

As a philosophical current that seeks to discuss and reflect human unrest, existentialism can be a fundamental piece for understanding the literary work of Fernando Pessoa and his heteronyms. Therefore, the present study aims to analyze how existentialism reflects and manifests itself in the Book of Disquiet and in personal heteronomy. To these objectives, a qualitative bibliographic analysis of the literary work of Fernando Pessoa was carried out, focusing on the Book of Disquiet based on theoretical studies of some philosophers - Søren Kierkegaard, Martin Heidegger and Friedrich Nietzsche - especially Jean-Paul Sartre (1973) as an expander of the ideas of his background, as well as literary theorists such as Antônio Cândido (2006) and Araújo e Leite (2023). In short, this analysis reveals that the multiple faces of Persona and all its depth have the influence of existentialism by its reflections on existence, anguish, freedom and dissatisfaction with reality, which the vast personal literary production is filled with.
