Abstract

In this article, I argue that the question of divinity provides an important context for reading Heidegger's initial two Nietzsche lecture courses (1936-37). First, I demonstrate how this often overlooked background can shed light upon the way in which Heidegger understood the meanings of will to power and eternal recurrence in this period. Second, I argue that the related themes of need (Not) and necessity (Notwendigkeit) in these lectures can be seen as an important framework for understanding the relation between Heidegger's early Nietzsche engagement and his Contributions to Philosophy (1936-38).
