Nietzsche on the eternal recurrence is an old trope, but it's rarely got right. This is not only a video about Nietzsche; it is a Nietzschean video. I hope it succeeds in introducing not just its topic, the eternal recurrence of the same as Friedrich Nietzsche saw it, but also Nietzsche's way of doing philosophy.

The eternal recurrence, sometimes call the eternal return, is for Nietzsche a thought experiment, aimed at helping us think and feel our way toward justifying our lives and justifying the world.
