“…It is also likely that Nietzsche read very little of Kant's work directly and relied heavily on the version of Kant that was presented in the work of Schopenhauer, among others. 39 Perhaps for these reasons, Nietzsche was not well studied in the years after his death, only rising to prominence again in the French speaking world in the 1960s. Deleuze's own book on Nietzsche, published in 1962, was important in this regard, as was Pierre Klossowski's highly influential Nietzsche and the Vicious Circle in 1969 and the translation of Heidegger's two-volume Nietzsche in 1971.…”

For thinkers such as Foucault and Deleuze, it is not possible to engage with metaphysical questions without simultaneously considering other, more political problems concerning the power relations that are internal to thought. In this article I argue that, despite certain important ways in which this trend follows in the wake of Nietzsche's polemic against the tyranny of Truth, to understand the political nature of metaphysics in late twentieth-century French philosophy we must see these thinkers as dealing with an explicitly Kantian problem. After some introductory material in the first section, I lay out the problem of legitimacy in Kant's Critique of Pure Reason and assess his own solution to this problem. In the third section I explain Nietzsche's critique of Kant's solution, while in the fourth section I explain how Foucault and Deleuze each return and respond to the political foundation of Kant's metaphysics in their own way.

“…By ‘positive’ I mean that Nietzsche endorses some metaphysical claims, and by ‘systematic’ I mean that Nietzsche more or less regularly endorses such claims. Those who interpret Nietzsche to have such a project include, among others, Kaufmann (1974), Heidegger (1987), Schacht (1983), Richardson (1996), Hales and Welshon (2000), Remhof (2018), and Doyle (2018). Let this be called the metaphysical reading .…”

Perhaps the most fundamental disagreement concerning Nietzsche's view of metaphysics is that some commentators believe Nietzsche has a positive, systematic metaphysical project, and others deny this. Those who deny it hold that Nietzsche believes metaphysics has a special problem, that is, a distinctively problematic feature that distinguishes metaphysics from other areas of philosophy. In this paper, I investigate important features of Nietzsche's metametaphysics in order to argue that Nietzsche does not, in fact, think metaphysics has a special problem. The result is that, against a long-standing view held in the literature, we should be reading Nietzsche as a metaphysician.
