Summary

Nietzsche's concept of eternal recurrence, which claims that life endlessly repeats itself identically in every detail, is a remarkably powerful idea that continues to fascinate students and scholars. In Nietzsche's Life Sentence, Lawrence J. Hatab provides an accessible and provocative study of eternal recurrence in the context of Nietzsche's overall philosophy.
