Nietzsche Bir Varoluşçu mu?

Abstract

The term existentialism is generally conceived as an intellectual movement that values existence rather than essence and individuality over uni-versality. In this context, many historians of philosophy regard Friedrich Nie-tzsche as one of the cornerstones of the existentialist movement, for his em-phasis is on the individual and concrete human. On the other side, Nietzsche’s philosophical corpus contains many notions which cannot be reconciled with the thought of existentialism. Based on concepts like nihilism, Overman, will to power and eternal recurrence the article discusses to what extent Nietzsche’s philosophical project aligns itself with the existentialist movement and as a conclusion, it defends that Nietzsche cannot be regarded as an existentialist.
