"The Flame of Eternity provides a reexamination and new interpretation of Nietzsche's
philosophy and the central role that the concepts of eternity and time, as he understood
them, played in it. According to Krzysztof Michalski, Nietzsche's reflections on human
life are inextricably linked to time, which in turn cannot be conceived of without
eternity. Eternity is a measure of time, but also, Michalski argues, something Nietzsche
viewed first and foremost as a physiological concept having to do with the body. The
body ages and decays, involving us in a confrontation with our eventual death. It
is in relation to this brute fact that we come to understand eternity and the finitude
of time. Nietzsche argues that humanity has long regarded the impermanence of our
life as an illness in need of curing. It is this "pathology" that Nietzsche called
nihilism. Arguing that this insight lies at the core of Nietzsche's philosophy as
a whole, Michalski seeks to explain and reinterpret Nietzsche's thought in light of
it. Michalski maintains that many of Nietzsche's main ideas - including his views
on love, morality (beyond good and evil), the will to power, overcoming, the suprahuman
(or the overman, as it is infamously referred to), the Death of God, and the myth
of the eternal return - take on new meaning and significance when viewed through the
prism of eternity."--pub. desc
