Abstract

Our subject is Nietzsche qua Nietzsche. Before any possible interpretation of his thought, we analyse Nietzsche as a person. We believe that a simple description of the characrers that comprise the personality of our philosopher will lead us to the root of his thought, which revolves around a single idea: Eterniry (die Ewigkeit). We will show Nietzsche's essencial traits, which neirher can be demonstrated nor proved, but show up in the analysis of his personality. These essential characters are: madness, Tragedy, and transcendence.
