Abstract: People generally agree that Nietzsche's eternal recurrence of the Same is an important part in Nietzsche's thought.Meanwhile,Nietzsche himself mentioned this doctrine many times in his several important writings and expounded it as an important principle.To generalize,the basic connotation of eternal recurrence of the Same is to question closely how human can be himself and hold his destiny in this world of recurrence.That is to say,to question closely the attitude and resolution in face of this world of recurrence,the most reliable reason for the live of human,the highest affirming for the life,and the most meaningful life.Thus,eternal recurrence of the Same is not a kind of knowledge on the question of if and how the world recurs,but a norm for human's thinking and doing.This way,eternal recurrence of the Same is not a doctrine of recurrence of cosmology simply discussing if and how the world recurs,but a doctrine of ontology and value,a doctrine to promote fundamentally the human entirety.
