Beyond the Abyss: The Interpretations of Eternal Recurrence, Its Depth and Contingency in a Rebirth of "the New Truth".

Description

This essay examines the principal interpretations of Nietzsche's eternal recurrence — cosmological and existential — arguing that neither exhausts the concept's philosophical depth. Reading eternal recurrence through its contingent character, the work proposes it not as a vital imperative but as an ontological revision the subject assumes actively and incompletely. The essay proceeds in three movements: the dismissal of the cosmological model as insufficient; a radical interrogation of freedom as an unresolved inheritance from a dead metaphysics; and a critical dialogue with Nietzsche's reading of Socrates, from which a "new truth" is proposed — one that recovers the maieutic method without its dogmatic residues.
