The abandonment of beings by being reveals itself in the final and most extreme intensification of metaphysics as the \"unconditioned predominance of manipulation.\" Manipulation means here the all-dominating producibility of beings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Essence of Nihilism\u003c\/i\u003e is linked to the idea of overcoming. This text deals with the attempt to elucidate the essence of nihilism through Nietzsche's words \"God is dead.\" The killing of God springs from the will to power as the most extreme form of manipulation. The being of beings is grasped here as the positing of values emanating from the will to power. In this positing of being as value, it becomes clear that being itself remained unthought in metaphysics. Therefore, metaphysics as such is nihilism proper.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese key works by Heidegger, now available in English for the first time, will be of great interest to students and scholars of philosophy and to anyone interested in Heidegger's thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eTranslator's Introduction \u003cp\u003eThe Overcoming of Metaphysics\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
