Product Description
For Lowith, the centrepiece of Nietzsche's thought is the doctrine of eternal recurrence, a notion which Lowith, unlike Heidegger, deems incompatible with the will to power. His careful examination of Nietzsche's cosmological theory of the infinite repetition of a finite number of states of the world suggest the paradoxical consequences this theory implies for human freedom. How is it possible to will the eternal recurrence of each moment's of one's if both this decision and the states of affairs governed by it appear to be predestined?

Customer Reviews
Lowith discusses the centrality of the concept of Superman.
Lowith was a brilliant German-Jewish scholar whose work was published in Berlin at the onset of National Socialism. However, he could not teach due to the racial Laws of the regime. Lowith's book is clearly and beautifully written, and is a superb analysis of the centrality of the Eternal Recurrence and the Superman idea to Nietzsche studies. Highly recommended to advanced students of Nietzsche.
