“Refiguring Time: The Ellipse of Eternal Return and Ekstatic Temporality”

​Manuscript, Liminal Temporalities: Nietzsche, Heidegger, and the End of Metaphysics
Filling a lacuna in the scholarship, I develop the politics of Heidegger’s Auseinandersetzung with Nietzsche as the basis for a principle of selection to decide precisely which Heidegger should be carried into the future. Animated by a psychoanalytically leaning hermeneutic suspicion, I argue that the early interest in Nietzsche’s eternal recurrence seduces Heidegger to an intellectual intimacy that is prolific. His star is on the rise. But when the time comes to reckon with the failure of the National Socialist project, Heidegger distances himself from his affiliation therewith by recourse to Nietzsche. What he initially regarded as the potential vehicle for his philosophy he identifies with (a misreading of) Nietzsche’s will to power. This scapegoating of Nietzsche therefore not only enables Heidegger to portray him as the consummate metaphysician who bears responsibility for the so-called dominion of planetary technology, it also positions Heidegger as the one to overcome it, inaugurating a new beginning for philosophy. Thus Nietzsche is revealed to be the figure upon which so much depends: the turn in Heidegger’s thinking, the mistaken source of his fascist desire, the transition to the “other inception,” and the promise of an alternative in liminal metaphysics.
