HEIDEGGER’S NIETZSCHE-INTERPRETATION: NEW PATHS FOR PHILOSOPHY

Abstract

The focus of this essay is the main course of Heidegger’s interpretation of Nietsche,which is understood as reexamening of the essence of philosophy and the possibilitiesof its new founding. Heidegger’s critique of Nietsche as the last metaphysicist is the basis forunderstanding of this new positioning of philosophy: Nietsche is the end of the fist beginning ofthe thought, and therefore points out to its second beginning. The key concepts of the analysisare the truth and the art: the concept of truth is criticized and shifted from its traditional meaningand function, and so delivers the possibility for releasing philosophy from its traditional role.The essence of philosophy is further to be reexamined and revealed with regard to model givenby the art.
