| | Eternal return - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A large part of eternal recurrence is the idea that there is no final state of the universe, the universe merely cycles through the same states of matter and time with no destination. | | | The religious scholar Mircea Eliade has written of the theme of the eternal return as expressed in the world's religions. | | | What, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: 'This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more'... |

| | The Eternal Recurrence of "l'effroyablement ancien" |
| | With the affirmation of the eternal recurrence, both possibilities are deprived of their place within a teleological - their persistence or suspension in repetition speaks of this loss of history, and their persistence is the persistence of the enigma of architecture's dead language at the closure of history. | | | This vision of eternal recurrence searches for words; a riddle that "can't be asked twice," eternal recurrence is always a symmetrical enigma (of origins, identity, and time). | | | But what distinguishes eternal recurrence from Greek tragedy is that eternal recurrence explicitly recognizes and reveals the eternal value of appearances, i.e. |

| | Magnus claims that the doctrine of eternal return is properly interpreted as Nietzsche’s counter-myth to the Platonic doctrine advanced in the Cave allegory, that pernicious doctrine of an otherworldly realm of truths. | | | Nietzsche-Zarathustra has undertaken to bring his message of the eternal recurrence of the same to humanity and it is the acceptance of this doctrine that is to result in the birth of the new human: the superhuman. | | | Similarly, Nietzsche’s concern in preaching the doctrine of eternal recurrence is not to introduce some curious cosmological doctrine but to provide a respectable route for humanity’s reaffirmation of life, to bring about the birth of the overman, (at last) the “healthy” individual who truly affirms life. |

| | This means that the eternal recurrence of human mediocrity cannot be sickening for the same reason that, eg., a million-year-long sex act would be. | | | In the metaphysics of revenge, and indeed in most metaphysical and religious systems, the eternal things are the highest things, and the fact that they are eternal is part of the reason why they are venerated as lofty. | | | If Nietzsche is right about the eternal recurrence, however, there is no natural place to end the story of the world. |

| | The eternal recurrence doctrine in Stoicism entails justification of divination and belief in the predictability of events. | | | For the sake of consistency with the Stoic eternal cosmos, Firmicus claimed this chart does not indicate that the world had any original birth in the sense of creation, particularly one that could be conceived of by human reason or empirical observation. | | | Astrological configurations were specified as part of the Stoic-Babylonian theory of eternal recurrence. |

| | The Eternal Recurrence of the Same |
| | Nietzsche gives forth two definitions of the eternal recurrence in his writings, one of time being a wheel in which the same point is reached over and over again and the other of a chaotic mass of finite atoms in infinite time repeating itself at random and not in the order of a wheel. | | | Originally, I was struck by the discrepancies between Nietzsche original descriptions of eternal recurrence and his final definitions of it. | | | I questioned him on my problems with the eternal recurrence of the same and he told me of Nietzsche's goal, but not why Nietzsche had used two definitions of the eternal return. |

| | Deja Vu and the Eternal Recurrence |
| | The only nagging problem with Eternal Recurrence is that it means that you have lived your life before, exactly as you live it now. | | | For those who do not know, Nietzsche’s theory of Eternal Recurrence is that time is infinite, and all matter within time is finite. | | | The ethical motivation behind eternal recurrence is that you should live your life, day by day, so adventurously, and with such fulfillment, that you would want to live it again and again, for all eternity! |

| | The method of eternal recurrence can be rooted on physical or hypothetical evidence or it can be a matter of belief. | | | If Nietzsche´s set of principles have the power to make people change their lives towards amor fati, we can conclude that eternal recurrence forms a new doctrine and that those two doctrines are compatible. | | | Nietzsche does not want us to base the doctrine of amor fati on belief of the Christian religion anymore but on the knowledge of eternal recurrence as a proof that we can love and change our lives out of ourselves, without a God. |

| | SSRN-Can Lawyers Be Cured?: Nietzsche's Theory of Eternal Recurrence and the Lacanian Death Drive by Jeanne Schroeder |
| | Perhaps Nietzsche's strangest idea is "eternal recurrence." Indeed, it is so strange that, despite its centrality in his works, some of Nietzsche's modern interpreters - most notably Alexander Nehemas - distance themselves from a literal interpretation of the doctrine. | | | Second, the presumption adopted by some Nietzscheans that one can both claim to reject a literal interpretation of eternal recurrence while simultaneously using it "as though it might be true" for certain purposes reflects the psychoanalytic strategy known the "fetishist split". | | | Schroeder, Jeanne L., "Can Lawyers Be Cured?: Nietzsche's Theory of Eternal Recurrence and the Lacanian Death Drive". |

| | Beyond Good and Evil? A Buddhist Critique of Nietzsche |
| | Although Nietzsche viewed Buddhism as superior to Christianity, and went so far as to call eternal recurrence "the European form of Buddhism", he considered both religions nihilistic. | | | This roundelay is so important that it appears at the end of both part three and part four; and the reason it is so important is that it reveals the origin of eternal recurrence to be joy. | | | Since the will-to-power always strives to overcome itself, it must project a future, which is why the only consummation it can attain is in the eternal recurrence of such moments. |

| | Friedrich Nietzsche |
| | To a similar end, Nietzsche's doctrine of eternal recurrence (sections 285 and 341) was formulated to draw attention away from all worlds other than the one in which we presently live, since eternal recurrence precludes the possibility of any final escape from the present world. | | | Nietzsche refers to this higher mode of being as "superhuman" (übermenschlich), and associates the doctrine of eternal recurrence -- a doctrine for only the healthiest who can love life in its entirety -- with this spiritual standpoint, in relation to which all-too-often downhearted, all-too-commonly-human attitudes stand as a mere bridge to be crossed and overcome. | | | The doctrine also functions as a measure for judging someone's overall psychological strength and mental health, since Nietzsche believed that the doctrine of eternal recurrence was the hardest world-view to accept and affirm. |
