Nietzsche and Spinoza
amor fati and amor dei
pp. 183-203
Abstrakt
Amor fati — love of fate — is the defiant formula by which Nietzsche sums up his philosophical affirmation. The term, never before used in philosophy,1 is clearly a polemical transformation of Spinoza's amor dei intellectualis, rejecting the primacy of the intellect and positing fatum (fate) instead of Spinoza's nature-God as the object of love.
