A Comparative Study On The Thought Of "Being" Between Kierkegaard And Nietzsche

Through the ages,"Being"as the highest and ultimate category has been reflected in the beliefs and thoughts of different philosophers for thousands of years.From the vast realm of "harmony between the heaven and human "to the western concept of"Incarnation" and the idea that all people seek good,so that people can be eternal in front of the passage of time for a long time.East or west,religion or philosophy may have very different spiritual connotations,but all of these ideological achievements,with their enduring faith in truth and goodness,show that the limited individual has unlimited and eternal spiritual pursuit,and bring inexhaustible spiritual treasures to the source of human thought and the experience of existence.We know that the modern western thought of "Being" has experienced a great turn,that is,the "Being" of traditional philosophical speculation has changed to the individual "Being" of differences in the modern sense.Kierkegaard and Nietzsche are the most thorough and passionate representatives who emphasize the existence of such individuals.On the ruins of nihilism,the two have the courage to assume their due responsibility as individual existence,and have made a thorough consideration of how to live"A responsible life",and try to integrate this kind of thought experiment with the survival experience,although they are often overwhelmed by this.However,the thoughts of Kierkegaard and Nietzsche are quite different,conveying two different beliefs of existence:in complete despair,Kierkegaard created the consciousness of the fragility and sinfulness of individual life,and through the"leap of faith”,he met with eternity in the way of Jesus Christ,and Nietzsche,immersed in the Dionysus-like fanaticism in the tragedy of existence,extolled the eternal will of life.As a result,they created the basic concept of"Being",which is rich in modern and contemporary philosophy,and gave it a new connotation,which had a great influence and inspiration on the later Existentialism and post-modern thought.By tracing the intersection and difference of spiritual purport between Kierkegaard and Nietzsche in the sense of "Being",this paper explores the thought plan expressed by the individual in breaking the external absolute and internal self,and takes this as an opportunity to examine our current state of existence and the responsibility related to ourselves.There are three parts and five chapters,the first part is according to Kierkegaard,including the first and second chapters;the second part is mainly Nietzsche's theory,including the third and fourth chapters,;the third part,the fifth chapter,to expand the intersection and division of Kierkegaard and Nietzsche in the sense of "Being".In the face of nihilism,Kierkegaard's primary responsibility is to criticize and deny G.W.F.Hegel's philosophy and the inside of Christian church.Hegel built an all-encompassing system,but created a shadow over Being.Kierkegaard criticized Hegel for building a huge palace,but he himself did not live in it,that is,"A pure visionary living outside a vast palace".Kierkegaard is actually trying to "Being" back to the level of individual existence,focus on and liberate the buried in the rational building of a specific person.At the same time,as a devout Christian,Kierkegaard is extremely dissatisfied with the phenomenon of secularization and politicization within the Christian Church,He believes that the reason why Christianity is Christianity is that believes in the supremacy of God and must face great pressure and difficulties,so becoming a Christian is a difficult thing rather than the opposite.Kierkegaard's view of being in the second chapter has a relatively clear display.According to the analysis of Kierkegaard,there is only one category——"The single individual",which is closely related to existence and embodies the characteristics of inwardness and subjectivity.Based on this,Kierkegaard carried out the analysis of the existence of aesthetic,ethical and religious realms,which embodied three different ways of survival.As a devout Christian,Kierkegaard believes that people are in their own despair,only in the "leap" of faith in God,that is,the survival of religion can achieve freedom and eternity,this is an eternal entry the Time——"The Prototype Moment",It is also a prescription that Kierkegaard make for themselves and his era.Based on the same awareness of the problem,Nietzsche offers himself and his era a near-motional solution.In the third chapter,Nietzsche uses his hammer philosophy to crush everything,and the will to power be born.Nietzsche also achieved eternity in"moment",unlike Kierkegaard,this "moment" is the time to explore eternity.Nietzsche's being is the life itself,which is called "the will to power".At the same time,vitality is an open state,actively generated things.On the issue of Existential theory,Nietzsche put forward the notion of "the eternal recurrence of the same",which is constantly generated and eliminated in the will of life the achievement of "moment" in death,creation and destruction meets with eternity,and the linear time is broken by the circular time of interlocking,thus obtaining eternity.This is also the form of"superman",which is a more perfect ideological form under the constant reincarnation of the will to power.The fourth chapter mainly discusses two large "dinosaurs" hit by Nietzsche's hammer,and puts forward "revaluation of all value".He carried out a thorough liquidation of traditional metaphysics and Christianity with the "weapon" he was able to stand on;pulled the philosophical"mummy" and the religious "idol" down the altar,and declared the coming of nihilism in the cry of "death of God".The fifth chapter develops the encounter and separation of the two in the sense of being.The two meet in the crisis of traditional value,that is,nihilism.For the traditional metaphysics,Kierkegaard and Nietzsche basically held the same attitude,they firmly denied the"power of negation","Being" in the form of personal nihilism to overcome that most profound pain,in the "moment" connected to eternity.The difference is that they have two diametrically opposed schemes.In the leap of death,Kierkegaard threw himself into the embrace of God and accepted God's grace and truth in the form of "The single individual",thus obtaining eternity and freedom.Nietzsche tried to eliminate the absurdity through the the eternal recurrence of the same in the belief of Dionysus,and entered the eternity in the negation and regeneration of self.
