The thought of Friedrich Nietzsche and Martin Heidegger is deeply intertwined, although their philosophical approaches and concerns differ in some respects. However, Heidegger was largely influenced by Nietzsche, and this influence is visible in several aspects of his philosophy, including the critique of metaphysics, the question of the meaning of being, and the notion of the "will to power." Here are some key connections between the two thinkers:Nietzsche criticized the Western philosophical tradition, particularly Christian and Platonic metaphysics, which he considered repressive, based on values such as morality, objective truth, and the idealization of the afterlife. He argued that this tradition stifled life, creativity, and individuality.Heidegger, while taking a more ontologically focused approach, shared this criticism. He saw Western metaphysics as a way of "hiding" the true meaning of being by reducing human existence to abstract and technical concepts. For Heidegger, Western thought has forgotten being by focusing on being-in-itself.
