Nietzsche and Heidegger on Nihilism. A Dialogue with Ivo De Gennaro

You can now enrol on my course on Being and Time! Seminars start 22nd January 2023. Follow this link to enrol https://halkyonacademy.teachable.com/p/martin-heidegger-being-and-time-masterclass You get access to more than 10 hours of exclusive video and audio lectures plus lecture notes. I see you inside! Prof Ivo De Gennaro and Dr. Johannes Achill Niederhauser discuss the different notions of nihilism formulated by Nietzsche and Heidegger: while for the former nihilism means that „beings amount to nothing“ (i.e. are senseless), for the latter the notion of nihilism implies that „being itself amounts to nothing“ (i.e. stays away), so that Nietzsche’s own thinking, and indeed the entire tradition of metaphysics (the thinking of beings as such), turns out to be – unknowingly – nihilistic. The conversation also establishes a link between nihilism and the presently much discussed „meaning crisis“ I’m a free scholar and your contributions make this work possible.
