The article intends to discuss the meaning of the philosophical science called “ontology”, the doctrine of the being in itself, based on Nietzsche’s historical-philosophical critique of the notion of truth: insofar as the “will to truth” puts itself in question and asks for the value of truth, it is not only the “death of God” and its Christian morality that finally take place, the very idea of a doctrine of Being also dies and is replaced for the concept of “interpretation”. Accordingly, Nietzsche’s philosophy is both a historical destiny and a critical conceptualization of that destiny. The article indicates that if there is an ontological thesis in Nietzsche’s philosophy — the world itself would be the will to power —, the meaning of this “ontology” is not and cannot be the meaning used by the metaphysical tradition.
