Özet:

Although the theory, which is considered as the flow of existence in the history of philosophy, has emerged after Nietzsche's period, many sources consider Nietzsche as an existential philosopher. According to these sources, the basic theories of existence are a continuation of Nietzsche’s philosophy. In other words, even if Nietzsche is not the name of existence, he is considered the father of the idea. In this article, we will discuss whether existence is a philosophical flow that develops Nietzsche’s views. In search of this answer, we will actually have to ask our question as follows: how would Nietzsche assess the fundamental theories of the flow from his own philosophical point of view, if he was aware of the flow of existence? But if we can answer such a question, we can determine in a healthy way whether Nietzsche’s existence is the father of the idea. In this direction, we will first explain what foreignization, radical freedom and authentic life mean, which are the three basic theses of the existence theory. Based on Nietzsche’s philosophy, we will discuss how Nietzsche can respond to these three fundamental theses. With the reasons we have determined in this debate, we will decide whether Nietzsche will be seen as the father of the idea of existence.
