Nietzsche on Amor Fati
View through CrossRef
Abstract
Amor fati – love of fate – is one of the formulations most often associated with Nietzsche. How, I ask in this paper, should we understand the relevant kind of love this amor fati involves, as against more familiar ideas of interpersonal love and love as historically understood in the philosophical tradition? The love we see with amor fati is not, as prominent readings would have it, about the supposed free bestowal of agape, nor the pursuit of the beautiful characteristic of eros. It instead centrally involves embracing something and coming to be at home with it – in this case, with fate. I explore this philosophically interesting idea of love and explain how it helps us better understand what Nietzsche has in mind by amor fati.
