„Torweg Augenblick“. Zu Finks Nietzsche-Deutung

Abstract

“Gateway, This Moment.” On Fink’s Interpretation of Nietzsche Nietzsche interests Fink as a thinker in whom a new “experience of the world” emerges through the historical trajectories, the narrative, and the language of metaphysics—in its question horizon and yet at the same time beyond it. This, however, does not simply replace the metaphysical worldview, but is fought out in the playing field of that difference which, according to Fink, is the “metaphor of all metaphysics”: the ontological comparative. On the one hand, Nietzsche takes this playing field into account by absolutizing it in the thought of the “will to power” as the movement of all being in time; on the other hand, he undermines it in the thought of the “eternal return of the same” as time as such and thus leads it to its limit. This is narrowly brought about in the image of the “gateway, This Moment” from Zarathustra, which Fink interprets as a “bumping into each other’s heads” of ontology (being) and cosmology (time) or as a breakthrough of the post-metaphysical thought of the “world wholeness” in the sense of the “all-encompassing, all-bringing, and all-erasing play-time of the world” into the historical world. In this antagonistic in-between, this “self-reflection,” Nietzsche’s confrontation with metaphysics takes place—and equally Fink’s interpretation of this confrontation.
