dc.description.abstractDoes Nietzsche’s inquiry into the question of truth take him beyond the sense of truth as correctness found in Platonism toward a more Greek understanding of truth that brings concealment into an unsettling prominence within truth? I explore in this thesis a possible double reading of Nietzsche underdeveloped within Heidegger’s first Nietzsche lecture course from 1936-37. The first reading focuses on Nietzsche as an inversion and overturning of Platonism. The second reading focuses on Nietzsche as a thinker who resonates with pre-Platonic thought through his development of semblance and concealment as essential to life. In this second reading I explore a consistent ambiguity within Heidegger’s reading of Nietzsche that allows for the more overt reading of Nietzsche as an inverter of Platonism to be contested at least partially.en_US
