GARCIA GONZALEZ, Juan. Overcoming the Spirit of Revenge: Polo versus Nietzsche. Tópicos (México) [online]. 2024, n.68, pp.153-177.  Epub Mar 08, 2024. ISSN 0188-6649.  https://doi.org/10.21555/top.v680.2501.

The analysis of the notion of spirit of revenge allows us to compare the Nietzschean will to power with the Polo’s transcendental freedom in order to expand metaphysics with a transcendental anthropology. The will to power overcomes the spirit of revenge with the eternal return of the same, but it is doomed to nihilism. Transcendental freedom, because of its consideration of the future, overcomes the spirit of revenge in a better way, since it opens itself to intersubjective otherness.

Keywords : will; freedom; Nietzsche; Heidegger; Polo; revenge; causality.
