"The Flame of Eternity" provides a reexamination and new
interpretation of Nietzsche's philosophy and the central role that
the concepts of eternity and time, as he understood them, played in
it. According to Krzysztof Michalski, Nietzsche's reflections on
human life are inextricably linked to time, which in turn cannot be
conceived of without eternity. Eternity is a measure of time, but
also, Michalski argues, something Nietzsche viewed first and
foremost as a physiological concept having to do with the body. The
body ages and decays, involving us in a confrontation with our
eventual death. It is in relation to this brute fact that we come
to understand eternity and the finitude of time. Nietzsche argues
that humanity has long regarded the impermanence of our life as an
illness in need of curing. It is this "pathology" that Nietzsche
called nihilism. Arguing that this insight lies at the core of
Nietzsche's philosophy as a whole, Michalski seeks to explain and
reinterpret Nietzsche's thought in light of it. Michalski maintains
that many of Nietzsche's main ideas--including his views on love,
morality (beyond good and evil), the will to power, overcoming, the
suprahuman (or the "overman," as it is infamously referred to), the
Death of God, and the myth of the eternal return--take on new
meaning and significance when viewed through the prism of
eternity.
