Eternal Return

In this section, we will explore the eternal return, and see how, appropriately it keeps on returning. First we will look at this nonlinear perspective which is more cyclical in nature. We will examine its relationship to paradox and how it shows up in Nietsche's notion of eternal recurrence of the same. Finally, we will see how this notion plays out in depth psychology. ∆RC[cg4]
