Abstract
In Ecce Homo, in which Nietzsche ambiguously reviewed his philosophical development, the origin of the doctrine of eternal recurrence is cited: “The concept of eternal recurrence belongs in August of the year 1881. It was written on a page with the inscription: ‘6000 feet beyond man and time.’ I went through the forests at the lake of Silvaplana on that day … there the thought came to me.”1
