Abstract

Nihilism and vitalism have being two of the more frequently studied issues in Nietzsche’s thinking. However, it is not so usual their joint study, as if life and values were joined to reinterpret the concept of nihilism. One consequence from this point of view is the move from the usual comprehension of Nietzschean nihilism, full of purely pessimistic connotations towards human being and life, to a purely positive acceptance of life as the only value. Thus, the reputed nihilism of Nietzsche would be, in fact, no other than a maximalist vitalism.
