Abstract

Since Vattimo's interpretation of Nietzsche requires examining the views of Heidegger and Dilthey as his main points, Therefore, in this article, we intend to first mention Heidegger's interpretation of Nietzsche, as the last metaphysical philosopher of the West, in which Heidegger to justify his goal; which is a re-evaluation of the history and experience of the West, deals with Nietzsche's interpretation. Then, briefly, we discuss Dilthey's interpretation of Nietzsche, as a philosopher of life, in which the closeness of Heidegger's and Nietzsche's thinking is emphasized. In the end, by explaining Vatimo's interpretation of Heidegger's Nietzsche, we show that, contrary to Heidegger's opinion, by examining Nietzsche's interpretation of modern nihilism and its connection with postmodern nihilism, he calls him the first postmodern philosopher. And it shows that it is Nietzsche who should be read as the first postmodern philosopher, not Heidegger, and the reason for these different perceptions and interpretations presented by Nietzsche, itself expresses the sensitive position of Nietzsche's philosophy at the end of metaphysics
