Eternal return

Nietzsche’s myth is a metaphor designed to motivate all of the characters in the book to take their actions more seriously; to live with a demeanor that leads to actions that are worthy of eternal repetition. Nietzsche’s concept of eternal return is not easily understood in a literal sense— it is to be interpreted as a myth accepted for its objective value. Therefore, Nietzsche’s concept behind the eternal return is simply that “humanity cannot live without some sense of purpose and meaning in life”(Hatab 61). After the “death of God,” Nietzsche believes that without having a higher being to tell us how to live our lives, we must decide for ourselves what will make them significant(Hatab…

I apologize for the late submission, I have had an extremely busy week. 1. Nietzsche’s eternal return is the theory that we should live our lives making decisions based on whether we would be willing to return and repeat our same choices repeatedly. It forces us to ask ourselves: is this a decision I want to live with forever? If I had to make that same choice again, would I do it? We all have different things that are important to us, and in his theory, we should be making decisions that we…

Nietzsche specifically speaks about the possibility of meaning of life and bearing the burden of life in the condition of "that which must come". This is the eternal return of the same. Zoroastra defines the condition of bearing of life as the underestanding of the eternal recurrent situation. What does he see in future that helps him bear the life? He responds that "And all my creating and striving amounts to this, that I create and piece together into one, what is now fragment and riddle and…

In The Sacred and the Profane, Mircea Eliade traces the existence of sacred spaces and what characteristics each area follows to determine what defines a sacred space. Eliade has identified five elements of every sacred space. For a place to be sacred, there has to be a hierophany, cosmogonic qualities, a threshold, and where heavenly and earthly come to meet and has to have a break in the homogeneity of the space. To examine further, we explored Stonehill’s Chapel of Mary to see if it qualifies…

use this as a point of departure for o Defining Nietzsche’s eternal return and showing how it works? o characterizing Tanksley’s professional life as one fit for approval by Nietzsche’s eternal return? Nietzsche’s eternal return asks the question if you had to live with the choice forever in an infinite loop would you do it and be content with your choice? So yes, Tanksley would indeed repeat her actions and decision and not change a thing, she is content with her life so far with the…

Homer’s Odyssey was a series of episodes and not a codified text. There are many symmetries in the work, one of which is the symmetry between Telemachus’ proper treatment as a guest by the King Menelaus and Odysseus’ is proper treatment by Phaeacians. This supports the Eliade’s theory of “eternal return” in the sense that both the hosts follow Law of Xenia. They treat Odysseus and Telemachus respectfully as guests and arrange for their departure. Eliade’s theory of eternal return can be related…

Mircea Eliade is one of those scholars. One of his most significant work was “The Sacred and the Profane: The Nature of Religion and The Myth of the Eternal Return” . Eliade saw religion as a difficult category of human experience. He was one of the scholars to say that religion should not be studied as a part of something and that it should be studied as it one area of study and should be understood through comparison of patterns. He studied religion from the view of others. He went on to say…

problems at home were so insignificant compared to those in other parts of the world. I realized that traveling on my own for the first time wasn’t so bad than I thought it would be. Life is tough and everyone has their own troubles, but it was nothing I faced first hand in a different country. In fact, I was fortunate enough to be brought up in a community where I was surrounded by family and friends who love and support me unconditionally. I got over the fact I was away from home and just…
