It has been especially aimed at applying the concept of the noble superior being described by Nietzsche, the ubermensch, to the hero s ontological nature, Augusto Matraga. Nietzsche s postulates of the will to power, the elements suggested of the trial between Dionysus and Apollo and the ascetic ideal, will be especially relevant to this work, which intends to establish until what point the hero can be conceived as a good ascetic person, in so far as his noble ontological nature trespass the Christian morality, bringing him closer to the man who, according to Nietzsche, is beyond good and evil. Some Heideggerian concepts will also be relevant in order to reinforce the idea that the judgment created about Matraga is just an appearance that does not contemplate his essential Being, contributing to veil his real tragic-ontological valour, what implies that the aesthetic power of the short has been under valued / O presente trabalho tem como objetivo comparar a filosofia de Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) e o conto de Jo?o Guimar?es Rosa (1908-1967), A hora e vez de Augusto Matraga (1946), no intuito de revelar a possibilidade da aplica??o da filosofia nieztscheana para expandir o valor est?tico do conto e possibilitar a compreens?o do protagonista, Augusto Matraga, como o prot?tipo do ser superior nobre descrito por Nietzsche, o ubermensch. Considerando os conceitos do fil?sofo sobre a vontade de pot?ncia, os elementos dionis?aco e apol?neo, bem como o ideal asc?tico, pretende-se estabelecer at? que ponto o protagonista pode ser concebido como um bom asceta, na medida em que, devido a sua natureza ontol?gica nobre, transgride a moral crist? e se aproxima do conceito do homem que est? al?m do bem e do mal. Al?m da filosofia de Nietzsche, usar-se-? alguns postulados filos?ficos de Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) para refor?ar a id?ia de que o ju?zo criado sobre Matraga ? apenas uma apar?ncia que n?o contempla a ess?ncia do seu Ser, contribuindo para camuflar seu car?ter tr?gico-ontol?gico, o que implica na diminui??o da for?a est?tica do conto
