Description
Summary:Nietzsche's doctrine of the eternal return of the same, seen through the lens of Heidegger's interpretation, captures the groundlessness of existence in a technological world devoid of normative significance. The author contends that the temporality depicted poetically in the thought of eternal return is the traumatic temporality of human finitude, to which Nietzsche was exposed at the age of 4 when the death of his father shattered his world. Nietzsche's metaphysical position is seen as a metaphorical window into the phenomenology of finitude and of the struggle to overcome it. 通过海德格尔的阐释来看尼采的同一物的永恒轮回的学说,捕捉到了在没有规范意义的技术世界里的存在的无根性。作者主张,在永恒轮回思想中被诗意地描绘的时间性,是人类有限性的创伤性的时间性,这一点对于尼采来说,是在他四岁时他父亲的去世打破了他的世界。尼采的形而上学的位置被视为一个隐喻性的窗口,朝向有限性以及为克服之而奋斗的现象学。
