Between Nietzsche, Heidegger and the end of metaphysics: an approach from the notion of will to power

Abstract

Starting from Nietzsche's Heideggerian interpretation, we intend to think about the question of the end of metaphysics, placing us in the dispute between these two thinkers. For this, we will focus our analysis on the discussion about the will to power. The manner in which Heidegger interpreted Nietzsche as the philosopher of the end of metaphysics, inserting him radically into this tradition, and the meaning he gave to the notion of the will to power is the focus of disagreements between Nietzsche's “post-Heideggerian” interpreters. Therefore, we will also try to present another version of the doctrine of the will to power, starting from Müller-Lauter and dialoguing with other interpreters, as it is our intention to show that a new conception of the will to power combined with the interpretation of a non-essentialist ontology in Nietzsche it can detach the philosopher from having his thought adequate to metaphysics and to the world of technique, as Heidegger thought.
