Abstract
When Nietzsche creates a contrast between Heraclitus’s philosophy and philosophical tradition, interprets it based on game and admires it, one must wait for this concept to perform a role in Nietzsche’s own philosophy. After this introduction, we will refer to some of Nietzsche’s thoughts based on which he puts himself in front of the metaphysical tradition, and we will show how these thoughts related to game. Becoming and the necessity of being appropriate, game-oriented view to the world, thought as game, opposing the metaphysical view based on dice games, and a view based on the immaculacy of game in a morality beyond good and evil are all evidences of Nietzsche’s use of this concept to oppose metaphysics. We are also witness to the presence of game in fundamental thoughts such as Will of Power and Eternal Return of the Same. From another viewpoint, the issue of interpreting and understanding Nietzsche's philosophy is still an unraveled mystery. Heidegger's metaphysical interpretation of Nietzsche has overlooked his concept of game in thought, and Jasperes also deems impossible any final interpretation of Nietzsche. But it is Derrida who interprets Nietzsche under the concept of Game of Symbols. In the end, we aim to show how understanding the concept of game in Nietzsche's philosophy can shed light on understanding the gist of his thought.
