Abstract:

The term existence is often regarded as a flow of thought in which the individual is brought to the forefront rather than the essence, and in the face of the universal. In this context, many philosophical historians interpret Friedrich Nietzsche as one of the key corners of the existence stream, because of his emphasis on the human and individual. On the other hand, Nietzsche’s philosophical culture has many concepts that are not in line with the thought of existence. This study opens to the movement of the debate of how much Nietzsche’s philosophical project is in line with the flow of existence from concepts such as nihilism, superior humanity, power demand and eternal return, and ultimately reaches the conclusion that Nietzsche cannot be considered an existenceist.
