In this context, many historians of philosophy regard Friedrich Nietzsche as one of the cornerstones of the existentialist movement, for his emphasis on the individual and concrete human. On the other side, Nietzsche's philosophical corpus contains many notions which cannot be reconciled with the thought of existentialism. Based on concepts like nihilism, Overman, will to power and eternal recurrence the present work discusses to what extent Nietzsche's philosophical project aligns itself with the existentialist movement and in the end concludes that Nietzsche cannot be regarded as an existentialist.tr10.18491/beytulhikme.1478info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessExistentialismNietzschenihilismovermanwill to powereternal recurrenceArticle93745764N/A
