Abstract

The main goal of my master thesis is to present a way of grounding of being, alternative to the methods of traditional metaphysics. In this picture the ground for being is a process of constituting of what there is by a specifically understood subject, namely center of force (Kraftzentrum). Human being who is a center of force not only imposes form onto beings but in addition to that he creates them in all dimensions. This way of grounding is untypical, yet it has significant advantages. First of all, the exaltation of human being in the metaphysical structure, next the established close link between human being and being in general, and finally, the rejection of absolute character of the ground. Such the type of grounding is representative to Friedrich Nietzsche’s metaphysic. Therefore in first part of my thesis I will show the main concepts of Nietzsche’s metaphysics which refer to the schema of constitution of beings. Will of power, subject, becoming, valuations and being are eminent examples of it. In the second part I will stress upon some specific consequences of Nietzsche’s metaphysics. I will highlight its ontological relativism and some issues that could follow it.
