Abstract
This article aims to show that nihilism in Nietzschean thought, besides being a historical phenomenon and a way of being of man, is also fundamentally an aesthetic phenomenon that presupposes the finitude of the human condition. Thus Nietzsche, when describing the development of nihilism, wants to narrate his own life at the same time. Moreover, nihilism cannot be overcome from outside its own point of view, but it must be overcome from within and only by someone who has experienced it: this can only be achieved through the self-creation as a work of art.
