This article aims to show how Nietzsche’s theory of the eternal return is a post-metaphysical gnoseology. It also aims to demonstrate how, in developing this theory, Nietzsche may have been inspired by Ralph Waldo Emerson. For both Emerson and Nietzsche, being is continuously becoming in a circular movement. The enlightened man, wanting to attain knowledge of reality, must reproduce in himself this circular movement, which involves always experimenting with contradictory values throughout his life. He can never attain complete and definite knowledge of being, but only knowledge as approximate as possible to its true essence.

尼采永恒回归的灵知学意义及与爱默生思想的异同

本文旨在展示尼采的永恒回归理论如何是一种后形而上学的知识论。它还旨在展示在发展这一理论时，尼采如何受到拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生的启发。对于爱默生和尼采来说，存在正在不断地循环运动。想要获得现实知识的开悟者必须在自己身上重现这种循环运动，这涉及在他的一生中始终对矛盾的价值观进行实验。他永远无法获得关于存在的完整和确定的知识，而只能获得尽可能接近其真实本质的知识。
