Abstract

This paper proposes the exposition and understanding of the metaphysical framework patent in the writings and personal perspectives of the famous Lusitanian writer Fernando Pessoa. His short story "In the Garden of Epithet" (1922), will serve as a basis for the contemplation of the scientific and philosophical interventions that the author made a point of referring, not only in the narrative in question, but also throughout his existential journey. Thus, this document intends to submerge the reader in the Pessoan psyche in order to consolidate some of his philosophy of life. This philosophy, in turn, is strongly embraced by the admiration and exaltation of nature, by the sensorial valorisation and by the universal dance of interdependence patent in all beings, atomically connected and eternally cradled by natural means of expression: nature, science and art.
