The Nietzschean universe of Didier Franck

The interest and speculative strength of Franck's study (Nietzsche et l'omb re de Dieu, PUF, Paris, 1998) have to do with a new interpretation of Nietz sche's work, profoundly different of that of Heidegger. Franck succeeds in proposing an original synthesis of a number of fragments which have been co nsidered as dispersive but in fact have a great value for the future. He sh ows their global coherence. Breaking with Heidegger's views on the history of Western philosophy and on technique seen as the loss of the Being, of wh ich the will to power was allegedly a last expression, Franck explains how and why Nietzsche takes up very different problems which have to do exclusi vely with the Christian faith in the Resurrection. The severe criticism whi ch Nietzsche makes of this is centered around the idea of a sur-resurrectio n around which the well-known themes Will to power, Creative values, Eterna l return, the Uebermensch, the Innocence of Becoming are being developed.
