This paper intends to clarify the concept of body and ruminantreading in the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, through a critical and systematic thinking in the author.He study has a hermeneutic focus for exhibit from Nietzsche’s reading, an anthropological perspective and a position analytic-thoughtful of the German thinker. First it will be settled on his notion of body in Nietzsche from an artistic perspective as self-creation of man; secondly we will deal with ruminating as a form of physiologicalreading and own artist-philosopher to its selfunderstanding; and finally will provide a brief review of the Nietzschean conception of self-creation and be onto-theological.
