        Summary
        This work's aim is to show how nihilism, properly understood, does not undermine the possibility of its own overcoming. Central to the success of this task is to show how our body, in Nietzsche's work, plays a fundamental role in conceiving an alternative, non-metaphysical ground for meaning. This new conception characterizes perspectivism in such a way that it enables the revaluation of life-negating values, necessary to overcome nihilism.
