Focusing on the will to power and reach the superman, Nietzsche's moral thought despises any system based on human humiliation, and introduces Christianity for promoting the morality of slavery, as the morality of the weak, which its emphasis on the original sin and inherent pollution of man kills the spirit of will and power and self-esteem in people. Applying a phenomenological method, this research has tried to find the Islamic teachings which drew Nietzsche's attention and to explore the consistency of his intellectual system with those teachings. According to him, Islam is a religion that recognizes the passion, will, selectivity, and authenticity of man and has an honest understanding of human nature, and a positive and realistic view of the world that is in line with Nietzsche's philosophy and especially the idea of the will to power. Moreover, the theory of perspectivism has contributed to a pluralistic understanding of religions, and the adaptation of some Islamic teachings to parts of his philosophical apparatus has provided him with a positive view of Islam. Paying attention to the realm of the heart and emotion in the mystical wisdom of Islam has also been consistent with its principles in the critique of modern reason.

Nietzsche's version of deconstructing the concept of the Subjectivism is based on the epistemological gap from classical and modern understandings of knowledge, truth, language and awareness. To reinterpret the human being as a being perpetually evolving within the web of physiological processes, he presents a new framework in which tries to interpret and evaluate such phenomena as knowledge, truth, language and thought, again. Nietzsche's aim is setting aside knowledge and the will of absolute truth as its main drive, and instead, introducing another drive that employs knowledge as an instrument. For him, the discovery of truth is an illusion originated from focusing upon the two inseparable constituents of the Subject, to say, language and awareness. Instead of the ideal of knowledge and the discovery of truth, he places the concepts of interpretation and evaluation; the former determinates the meaning, usually particular, of the phenomenon, while the latter specifies the hierarchy of meanings with no bearing on their plurality. Our core question in the present paper is ‘how can Nietzsche deconstruct the concept of the Subject in spite of his breaking with its modern epistemological aspects’. And our main claim is that the deconstruction of the Subject can only be understood if we understand Nietzsche’s criticism of such concepts as truth, knowledge, language and awareness.

Gorgias dialogue is one of the most important Plato's dialogue, because Plato challenges Socrates against of most of these important figures of his time.in this essay, we consider the third act of dispute between Socrates and Kallikles which is more than half of the dialogue. In this essay we try show that parts of Nietzsche’s critics are the same of Kallikles critics that are explained in raw and primitives form. Present essay tries to avoid spiteful views of Nietzsche’s opinion and show their approximate to Kallikles’s opinion. Center of this essay is the concept of power in the views of Kallikles and Nietzsche. We try with analysing of this central concept explain the views of Nietzsche and Kallikles in the case of truth, meaning of life and law. So the basic question about all parts of essay is: what is the relation between conceiving of Kallikles and Nietzsche in the case of power? If such a relation exists between a Sophist in the era of Western philosophy and the last philosopher of this tradition (Nietzsche), can there be a rift between the two?

Nietzsche thinks Thus Spoke Zarathustra is his greatest book and the doctrine of eternal recurrence is the “most Abysmal Thought” of this book. Why has this doctrine such importance in the philosophy of Nietzsche? Although there are differences between eternal recurrence in The Gay Science to Zarathustra, but always remains a few characteristics. First, Nietzsche's eternal recurrence is a measure for revaluation of all values. The eternal recurrence is against the ressentiment and the ascetic ideal. Second, although Nietzsche in The will to power, sometimes has some sentences that imply to cosmological interpretation of the doctrine of eternal recurrence, but most interpreters have emphasized the practical implications of this doctrine, although about the modality of these implications there are disagreements among them. The problem that arises is that if eternal recurrence requires that we say yes to everything, including unfavorable affairs, and even the "amor fati" implies to love pains, how to say yes to pains is compatible with to say yes to life? The answers to this question clarify new dimensions of Nietzsche's thought and the doctrine of eternal recurrence. This doctrine causes "creativity", "choice", "decision" and "activity". Eternal recurrence completes and leads nihilism to its peak and this is also desirable for Nietzsche.

The way that human being has gotten up to now in ethics, is regarded by Nietzsche not as a positive evolutional process, but as a history of long-lasting human mistakes and as the cause of his terrible fate. Thus he criticizes intensely the ethics which was considered as a historical heritage and evaluable achievement of human being. He thinks that all aspects of human life, even his question of being are influenced by values and these values have made some struggles and crisis for him. He entitled himself as an anti-ethic and rejects all moral systems. In criticizing ethics he wants to find the real foundation of ethics to illustrate its position and function and to recognize the human evaluating mechanism which forced him to do moral acts. Underlying all subversive comments and thoughts of Nietzsche, there is a noble and new though integrated idea. He does not intend to found a system similar to what he criticized and destroyed. Superhuman is the paragon of this new idea. Looking at his critics on ethics this article assesses his negative view on ethics.
