Reconciliation in Nietzsche's Thought?

The paper attempts to answer the question of whether the idea of reconciliation is articulated in Nietzsche's thought. This account proceeds in three steps. The First part presents Nietzsche's criticism of the motivation and aims of reconciliation (or self-reconciliation) at work in religious, social and philosophical conceptions. The second part argues that Nietzsche develops an alternative form of reconciliation: selfovercoming. The third and last part discusses to what extent Nietzsche's insistence upon the self in self-overcoming might elude the figure of the other and thus blur the line between self-overcoming and self-delusion.
