Abstract


Nietzsche’s analysis of the notion of causality and his distinctive causality theory, compose epistemology and ontology. After Hume’s skepticism and Kant’s theory of transcendental categories, Nietzsche represented a thought opposing causality on non-empiricism basis. He denies any correspondence of causality and actuality,and the indispensability of causality concept in traditional epistemology as well. Causality is a falsification schematizing and simplying the world and a necessary as a condition of life. The conviction of causality rooted deeply in the conviction of subject and will, and was solidified by our language.This paper consists of 3 parts. Chapter I recounts the anti-causality position of Nietzsche. He argues that causality in no way reflects actuality. There’s no efficient cause and no connection between causes and effects; the causality category is not an explanation but a description of the world, used for designating and communication. Chapter II involves Nietzsche’s analysis of causality belief. He argues that the causality belief interacts with the conviction of the notion of subject and will. Mankind falsely interprets the feeling of force and identifies the will and purpose with the efficient cause. We counterfeit the subject, and impose a nonexistent law on nature. The key terms used by mechanism are all fictions. Chapter III discuss why and how the causality thought originated. Nietzsche supposed a psychological process from which the causality feeling arises, and indicated the elements constitutes the causality feeling. Nietzsche confirms the causality as the method to control and utilize the world. Causality is the falsification to preserve the species and has replaced primitively religion thought historically.
