– Those who can create and say something really positive (slaves) to avenge their existential helplessness by making it the negative value of their lives. – Pain and bitterness are the source of morality, as they are the source of metaphysics. – Resentment is to say the feeling of resentment and bitterness felt by those who are unable to create a positive, gave birth to moral values, good and evil. Nietzsche is here, very hard on Christianity. Traditional moral values suffer, too, the “hammer” of the Nietzschean critique. – In the eyes of Nietzsche, what matters is, on the contrary, our world as vital fullness. It only responds to the need for stability of those that Nietzsche christened the “hallucinated the back-world: those that pose an ideal universe, beyond the empirical appearances and our phenomenal world. – But this is a metaphysical being fiction. The object of study of metaphysics is the Being, in and of itself, essentially the same through the changes. The individual, in his grief, has invented another world, stable, permanent place of truth. ► Therefore, metaphysics must be overcome: she was born, in fact, suffering from the man and his weariness of life. ► The phenomenon is sensitive then reduced to a mere appearance, an envelope surface, it slides towards nothingness and reality and identifies the supersensible. ► Metaphysics, defined as the type of research and approach the truth lying beyond phenomenal appearances in a “other world” devalued because of this, our universe. – However, the examination, we discover the origins of this crisis within the metaphysical project: – It means the unveiling of nothingness, conceived as hidden foundation of our world. Nihilism is the sign of “Nothing”, pure Nothingness In the crisis of our time (even within the nihilistic disease), we find, in fact, errors of metaphysics. In truth, nihilism completes the metaphysics and concludes there is an immediate consequence. – It bounces well on the surface of the earth. – The “Last Man” means what is most contemptible in this world: those who are powerless to create and to love, the individual totally enslaved and enjoying a “happiness” programmed and petty. The death of the Christian God, if it is, perhaps, the sign and the announcement of a new dawn, is marked in our time, by the coming of the Last Man, completion of nihilism. – The Divine, the supersensible, left us: we killed Nietzsche tells us sometimes. The darkness is now the lot of our world. – The sun of the Christian faith has to lie. – The phenomenon of nihilism is fundamentally marked by the death of God, the most important recent event. – The future is so aimless and all traditional ideals lose their value.īut what is the core of this “Nothing” and how does it spring? – This deadly disease of modern times, ours is the nihilism, reign of the absurd, of Nothing (“nihil”, as we pointed out the etymology). – He made a study at different levels and in so doing has often announced with great precision which only sketched in the late nineteenth century. Nietzsche diagnosed the essence of the mortal crisis of our time: he described it, in its main features, and an almost clinical manner.
As for the illusion of ulterior worlds, Nietzsche stalking in all its forms. What is essential is our world as it is joy and desire for power. Nietzsche is the philosopher of the will to power, seen as vital creation and fulfillment.
