Literature: 

Martin Heidegger, “Nietzscheʼs Metaphysics”, in: Nietzsche Volume III, New York, 1987, 187-251. 

Martin Heidegger, „Nietzsches Metaphysik“, in: Nietzsche II, Pfullingen, 1961 (= GA 6.2). 

Heidegger had announced for Sommer Semester 191941/42 a lecture course on “Nietzscheʼs Metaphysics”. Instead, he would do lecture course on Hölderlin. In the lecture course Heidegger determines and explains Nietzscheʼs fundamental metaphysical position based on five key terms: will to power, nihilism, the eternal recurrence of the same, the overman, and justice. The course thus offers Heideggerʼs final interpretation of Nietzscheʼs metaphysics.
