F. Nietzsche and the ontological analytics of nihilism in the light of the concept of “inner experience” by G. Bataille

The authors deal with Georges Bataille's concept of inner experience as a hermeneutic strategy for interpreting the work of Friedrich Nietzsche. It is shown that the inner experience as an experience-limit consists of two components: the highest rise, which causes the ecstasy of the possession of the whole, and the deepest fall, which causes existential anguish from the impossibility of maintaining this possession. A special place is given to the historical and ontological analysis of Nietzsche's phenomenon of nihilism in the context of the difference between external history as Historie and internal essential history of being as Geschichte. Within the framework of Geschichte the six historical stages in the development of nihilism, with which Nietzsche describes the ever-increasing nihilistic interpretation of the truth of being, are considered. It is concluded that the hermeneutics of Nietzsche's philosophy is based, according to Bataille, on finding the special position, the topos of inner experience, which creates a new space for the interpretation of Nietzsche's philosophy.
