L’eredità di Nietzsche. Il cammino della filosofia come adesione alla vita

The present research focuses on Karl Jaspers’s interpretation of Nietzsche’s thought, particularly in the book Nietzsche. Einführung in das Verständnis seines Philosophierens, with the aim of intimately understanding his philosophizing. From Nietzsche, indeed, comes for Jaspers the invitation to embrace the wholeness of existence, without introducing hierarchies among the multiple dimensions of life and without removing or condemning anything. The invitation not to disregard fidelity to the earth, which in Jaspersian thought is taken up and transformed into the sense of the exercise of fidelity to the human condition, which is precisely implemented in the tension implied in this threefold correlation between world, man and God. One traverses the principles of interpretation; the traits of convergence between their lives; the biographical rootedness of philosophical thought, which does not resolve itself into biographism, being able, if anything, to inspire the rethinking of the metaphysical conditions of the human and its liberation, beyond the conceptual constructions polluted by nihilism; the role of history and the relationship between «Chiffren» and «Maske» for the impulse to a transcending that comes from the depth of the implicit and indirect communication.
