Nietzsche, Nature and its Double

This article explores Nietzsche’s vision of living beings as inherently oriented toward having, incorporating, and growing. Through perpetual vulnerability and exposure to otherness, life strengthens and evolves; order and generation arise from disruption rather than equilibrium. Concepts such as Einverleiben (incorporation), the impulse to appropriation, and the dual nature of living and inert systems, illuminate the dynamic interplay between self-maintenance and transformation, placing Nietzsche’s thought within what we define as Echontology, a reading of life through the prism of having, exceeding metaphysics.
