ABSTRACT

Starting from Heidegger's evaluation of Nietzsche's nihilism, this article examines the origins of nihilism in the thoughts of Schopenhauer and Nietzsche, and analyses Heidegger's refutation of Nietzsche's extreme nihilism. He aims to overcome or transcend nihilism through this refutation. However, it also raises the question of Heidegger's notion of "existence", and by combining it with Lacan's psychoanalytic theory, reveals an ultimate form of positive nihilism.
