The aim of this work is to make an historical and comparative analysis between Nietzsche’s philosophy and Buddhism.

The philosophy of Nietzsche consists of a radical defense of immanence in opposition with all kind of metaphysics, Buddhism, on the other hand, is a religion with ot’s own modes of thinking and achieving transcendence that have in the concept of Nibbana or Nirvana it’s highest point
