The overcoming of the nihilism in the search of the eternal return

The nihilism and the everlasting return are key concepts in the Nietzschecian attempt to understand the rising and crisis of values, from the coming of the metaphysics and Christian moral. However, the valuation of those concepts is far from being univocal in the work of the German philosopher, since its utterance is not enough to reach one of the greatest goals of his thought: the transvaluation. The current article aims to examine the views in which some readings of the work of Nietzsche speak about nihilism and the conceptual need of reaching the eternal return thought as a necessary condition to perform the transvaluation. In this scenario, the thesis will be based on the eternal return that the everlasting return implies both the perfection and the overcoming of the nihilism, in the manner that it can separate from itself the resentment. For this, it will be shown the traveled path of the author to overcome the ambivalence of the weakness and the strength that come with the development of these concepts, in part from the Gay Science and the third book of Thus Spoke Zarathustra.
