Abstract

This is a collection of essays devoted to the issue of Nietzsche’s complex relationship to metaphysics. In the preface, Haar claims that the overcoming of metaphysics “marks without a doubt the entire development of [Nietzsche’s] thought...”. He goes on to wonder whether or not Nietzsche “remains prisoner to the categories that he overturns”. Was Nietzsche successful in overcoming metaphysics, or was he, as Heidegger claims, the last exemplar of the metaphysics of the subject?
