Eternal Recurrence - English Language

Japanese: 永劫回帰 - えいごうかいき

Nietzsche's term. A translation of ewige Wiederkunft or ewige Wiederkehr des Gleichen, it is also known as "eternal return." Nietzsche, who considers the play of the finite "will to power" in infinite time, that is, "eternal return," to be the fundamental character of all existence, was struck by this idea in 1881 and later wrote "Thus Spoke Zarathustra." Incidentally, M. Eliade also used this term to discuss the return to archetypes and the cycle of mythical time ("The Myth of Eternal Return").

ニーチェの用語。ewige Wiederkunftないしewige Wiederkehr des Gleichenの訳で，〈永遠回帰〉とも。無限の時間の中での有限な〈力への意志〉の戯れ，すなわち〈永劫回帰〉を存在全体の根本性格とするニーチェは，この思想に1881年に襲われ，のちに《ツァラトゥストラ》を書く。なお，M.エリアーデは，祖型への回帰と神話的時間の循環を，この語を用いて論じている（《永遠回帰の神話》）。
