What the Will Imagines. Time and Resentment in Nietzsche

Abstract

The article explores the relationship that could be established, to the inside of the Nietzsche´s thought, between a specific experience of time and the genesis of the resentment against life. This analysis considers as a starting point, the problem of the historical being described in the first section of the Second Untimely Meditation. That would be the idea of a time that closes against the power of the will, an argument that also acquires a decisive importance in the passage "On redemption", of Thus spoke Zarathustra. Nietzsche criticises this representation of linear time that would the maximum obstacle for a will which pursues its intensification and commits to a thought that is reconciled with the conditions as life. This implies asumig that the idea of perishable time can be one fiction more, among others, and affirm the Eternal Return as an experience of time that does not weaken the will and beyond the revenge desire of man's on his own finitude
