Foucault's reception of Nietzschean philosophy is still fertile ground for multiple explorations. Indeed, in Obrar mal, decir la verdad, Foucault points out that any phenomenon of veridiction, understood as an act of telling the truth, would have its equivalent in what Nietzsche would have thought of as 'Wahrsagen'. However, the term pointed out by Foucault does not appear anywhere in the Nietzschean corpus, and yet several specialists have mentioned that Nietzsche's Wahrsagen is taken by Foucault as veridiction. Given this, we intend to explain the relationship between one term and another, attending, on the one hand, to a reconstruction of the phenomenon of veridiction in Foucauldian work, and, on the other, to the notes that Nietzsche assigns to the figure of the fortune teller. in Thus Spoke Zarathustra. The purpose of this research will be to make explicit that this relationship shows as intrinsic characteristics of all veridiction both the need for it to enable a projective horizon for the subjectivities involved in it, as well as the null relationship that telling the truth itself has with reality from and in front of which it arises.
