Abstract
One of the most fundamental elements of Nietzsche's thought is the notion of eternal recurrence of the same which he regards himself as the teacher of it. According to this notion, I shall return eternally to this identical and self-same life, in the greatest things and in the smallest, not to a new life or a better or a similar life. Nietzsche takes the eternal recurrence as a test or as a selective principle for life-affirmation and as an antidote to the nihilism following god's demise. In the light of eternal recurrence we can redeem the past and transform every "It was" into "I wanted, It thus" and be succeed in reaching the will to power and saying yes to the world as it is.
