Nietzsche’s philosophy is the product of the Capitalism society develops to the certain stage. It foresees the profound spirit crisis of the modern western society in an unique way. What are the contributions that Nietzsche made to Philosophy? What is the relationship between he and the contemporary? Those are urgent problems that we need to solve. Eternal recurrence is the key to solve those problems. Eternal recurrence is the core in Nietzsche’s philosophic life, which need to have meticulous, systematic, precise and overall comprehension. The thesis bases on the thus spake Zarathustra. First, scrutinizing all the content relates to ‘contingency’ in thus spake Zarathustra. Then, from the meaning of ‘contingency’ to the meaning of eternal recurrence, and develop to the meaning of ‘deficiency’ in the horizon of Nietzsche’s philosophic life. The thesis combines the approach of scrutinizing text research with philosophical speculations, which forms intertextuality between the Nietzsche’s works. Basing on the fundamental of these interpretations, analyze the inherent relationship between the ‘eternal recurrence’, ‘will to power’, ‘superman’s philosophy’ and those important thoughts in the horizon of Nietzsche’s philosophic life. From these linking up the theory of powerful will, the ideas of moral and religion, the thoughts of art, reflex the character of nihilism in modern society, construct the idea of the value of the perceptivity to individual life. The thesis finally makes the conclusion: Eternal recurrence is the criterion of Nietzsche’s philosophy, give the ‘contingency’ and ‘deficiency’ the highest glory. These transient existences are the base of individual living circumstances. Nietzsche’s thought needs no defend but comprehension. Only if truly understand the far-reaching and fascinating thoughts, then can we grasp the essence of life.
