Nihilism is not only a product of the times, according to Nietzsche's and Heidegger's view, Nihilism is the inherent logic of the traditional Western rationalism of values. Western rational tradition in the developmental process, the traditional metaphysics gradually been completed. That is to say, the value of thinking gradually replace the being thinking so that eventually the human thought is in a state of no roots.Nietzsche firstly draw the telling and substance of the nihilism, and genealogize its roots in which it denies the object, stressed the significance of value. Therefore, the fundamental approach to overcome the nihilism is not return to the path in where it negate the tradition, but the destination have it out of the logic of the tradition . Heidegger think that Nietzsche's the criticism on the value of nihilism is still the traditional metaphysics, and therefore he is not really overcome nihilism. Heidegger relate "nothingness" and "nihilism" of issues with the "existence", "the occurrence of the being", " the history of existence " and "Heaven, Earth, people, God's game" and "fate" to think, then think the truth, meaning and thinking of value as the events which occur in the history of existence. Heidegger's criticism of metaphysics to the nihilism of Nietzsche's, is based on the relation of the being and the value. In the background of Heidegger's understanding to Nietzsche's nihilism, this paper attempt to start the stand of Heidegger's of anti-nihilism by the analysis to the development process and the nature of the value; and on this basis, further elucidates some inspiration and the great theoretical and practical significance that the anti-nihilism gave us. In the end, we have a new era of understanding for the trend of development of the Western thinking and the solution to the problem of the times.Levo-Strauss think of Heidegger's " the history of existence " as "the extreme historism", and think it is the exquisite style of the most modern nihilism, which led to the loss of the truth, meaning and value. He believed that to overcome the modern nihilism, we must abate the pain of Nietzsche's and the mystery of Heidegger's, to find the truth, meaning and regular basis of the value in the classical ration, to seek the truth the significance of value in the nihilism survival.
