Nietzsche and Problem of Nihilism

Abstract

It is generally accepted that life-affirmation is central to Nietzsche’s philosophy. Nietzsche’s aim is to affirm life despite all miseries for human beings conscious of the horror and terror of existence and avoid nihilism. He is concerned with life affirmation almost in all of his works, In my thesis I will consider how he involved with avoiding nihilism to affirm life according to his two books, The Birth of Tragedy and Genealogy of Morals.
