Alberto Caeiro: the learning of unlearning

Abstract

The poet Alberto Caeiro, heteronym and teacher of his disciple and creator Fernando Pessoa, builds a work written that slides between poetry and philosophy, his poems in prose, cover topics such as the reality, the language, the man’s relationship with the things, because it destroys the subject-object relationship, for leave us a world of looks and things, or what is the same, of the beholder and what is looked at fringes of any interpretation and reflection, because the preponderant knowledge in this poetic is sensory.
