Mochkin, A. N. Martin Heidegger Searching for Friedrich Nietzsche’s Metaphysics

Abstract: This article is an attempt to analyze Nietzsche’s philosophy from the point of view of metaphysics. The author of the article analyzes the greatest attempt in XX century to mystify Nietzsche’s philosophy made by Martin Heidegger in his search for so called ‘metaphysics’. The article contains a comparative analysis of interpretations of Nietzsche’s philosophy made by famous psychiatrist and philosopher of XX century Karl Jaspers and Martin Heidegger. It is underlined that Jaspers and Heidegger had a very specific attitude to the main interpretations from the Nietzsche Archives proposed by Oswald Spengler and Ernst Junger. Rejecting existential and vulgar sociological interpretation of Nietzsche’s philosophy, Heidegger tries to view it as the final stage of a two-century development of metaphysics. Martin Heidegger tries to construct Nietzsche’s metaphysics similarly to Antique philosophies before Socrates. The author of the article also makes an attempt to describe authentic Nietzsche and his philosophy in which metaphysical categories are combined with mythological concepts. New anthropology cretes a myth about super-human and ‘great policy’ becomes Dionysus Epiphany.
