Abstract

Nietzsche's idea of the eternal recurrence of the same gains new momentum following the study by P. S. Loeb that attempts to demonstrate the temporal identity of eternal recurrence. After more than a century of consensus that the thought of thoughts, as it was characterised by Nietzsche himself, is incoherent and logically inconsistent, space for a broader exchange of opinions opens up, since the acceptance of the thought in question - or its rejection - requires studying the possibilities of its validation through experience. I disagree with Loeb's concept of the experience of eternal recurrence, and I am instead proposing a concept that distinguishes between generally verifiable experience and the experience of a fundamental epochal mood (attunement). Through this difference I attempt to show that each epoch is generated through a precognitive awareness of some form of the concept of eternity. Subsequently, I turn towards the singular experience of the moment, which does not follow from the question of the general experience of a moment as the dividing line of time in its movement from past to future, and which is incommensurable with general experience.
