This article aims to study the process of creation of Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935) from an interdisciplinary vision that articulates Literature, Philosophy, History and Social Sciences to highlight the dialogue of the Portuguese poet with the Positivism of Auguste Comte (1798-1857), notably in respect of the Theory of Knowledge: while Comte invests in unity, Pessoa’s creative process points to diversity as a way of understanding phenomena. In part, we believe that this is due to the perspective of the time in which Pessoa lived, to the influences of the Decadentism of the late nineteenth century, and to the ideas of Modernity that reshaped the twentieth-century ways of thinking.
