Abstract
The article is devoted to an attempt to reconstruct Nietzschean ontology presented as an ontology of becoming an eternally reccurning ‘whole’. The article is divided into several sections. The first section is devoted to the category of becoming as a basic concept in Nietzschean ontology and presents a consideration of becoming through the idea of the ‘whole’. The second section analyses the idea of eternal recurrence that gives a temporal dimension to Nietzschean ontology, and examines Nietzsche’s main arguments illustrating how eternal recurrence works. The third section analyses the will to power as a cosmological principle of his ontology. The final section offers a brief reconstruction of Nietzschean ontology, bringing together all the ideas and categories presented.
