Popis: In a note to G.R.S. Mead's Quests Old and New, where he found a section devoted to Hans Vaihinger's main ideas, Fernando Pessoa reflects on the consequences of the fictionalist approach to both our perception of the I and the value of consciousness. These questions correspond to some statements that we find in Nietzsche's writings, which in particular Vaihinger refers to in his Die Philosophie des Als-ob. Our aim is thus to compare Nietzsche's and Pessoa's view of the I and consciousness, and to deal with their psychology by making reference to Vaihinger's fictionalism.
