“LOSS” OF SENSE AND “LOGIC” OF NIHILISM

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the problem of the relation between Nihilism and the Loss of Sense, which is often treated in an obvious coherence. Tthe latter approach struck its roots as a non-critical acceptation of Heidegger’s interpretation of Nietzsche’s Nihilism. The article raises the question what the identification of Nihilism with Loss of Sense really means. Moreover, while proclaiming Nihilism, what is meant by the term of Sense Deficit? The article investigates the texts of authors of Romanticism, such as Jean Paul and Heinrich von Kleist, where a relation between the proclamation of Nihilism and the Lloss of Sense is disclosed. Nietzsche discovers the relationship between Nihilism and Sense in a theoretically reflected manner. The article demonstrates that for Nietzsche “the crisis” of Sense is related with the unmasking of “two worlds” (the true world and the world of appearance). Non-believing in metaphysical world which blocks the way to the believing in the true world, corresponds, in Nietzsche’s interpretation, to the “logic” of the Loss of Sense as the “logic” of self-unmasking. The Heideggerian interpretation of Nietzsche’s philosophy not only discloses the nihilistic Loss of Sense as an ontological / logical principle of immanentism, but also enables to recognize Nihilism as a self-referential “logic” of Western thought.
