Abstract:

With his passion for life and the world of sense, Nietzsche naturally refuses metaphysics, which is nihilistic to the sensible world. He attempts to drive metaphysics out of its refuge by the critique of Christianity, science and language so as to go back to real life. Nietzsche's critique also helps us to understand the mechanism of metaphysics in the West.

Key words: Nietzsche, Christianity, science, language
