Nihilism
Good, justice, truth and beauty, such things are to be pursued and realized. The reason is “God” in Christianity or the idea of good by Plato. Friedrich Nietzsche named these thoughts think there is another dimension or world behind the real world, the theory of two world.
For Nietzsche, the theory of two world is not only fault but also unnecessary. Because the value is made by the psychological social mechanism in the real world. Losers bring the measure of moral and feel superior to winners, and these attitude made good and evil. The basis is loathing and ressentiment by weak people, and, by them, losers conter strong people and winners. So this slave morality is the root of good and evil. And all values were made by ressentiment. So Nietzsche thought any value has no value.
Eternal Return
In the real society, all of things are repetition of same things, and they last eternally. And, by nihilism, it clears up the value of good and evil are exaggeration, so we can’t say this society is better or worse. So this world is repetition of same things and eternal return.
Only Übermensch (superman) can accept and overcome nihilism and eternal return.
Will to Power
Inspired by Schopenhauer, Nietzsche created a concept of will to power as the essence of living nature (physis). View to the entire existences, the world continuously creates across the structure. Will to power is the will consistently want to stronger and bigger power. Will to power is an essential feature characterise life of organic beings. Also it’s the fondamental structure of the whole world regarded as a huge life system.
Perspectivism said by Nietzsche, is a mechanism fixes and oppresses will to power. Nihilism deconstructs values and some substances as the result of perspectivism, based on genelogy which traces back to each of their conditions and causes.
