Abstract

The article presents an analysis of the concept of fatum in Friedrich Nietzsche’s thought, relating it to two other concepts – guilty and moral responsibility. Fatum is, as well as destiny, linked to the necessity of a relational chain among all things. Thus, the notions of guilt and responsibility, so much to the taste of morality, are under suspicion, since in the face of necessity nothing could be different from what it was. Facing this problematic, two aspects will be considered. The first, starting from an analysis of freedom of will and responsibility, points to a sense of fatum as a counterpoint to unlimited freedom. The other aspect aims at mapping the nietzschean understanding of man as part of the fatum. In this sense, man and world are not necessarily separated things, they connected somehow.

Keywords: Fatum. Guilty. Responsability. Will. Power.
