Nietzsche, nature

A comon interpretation of Nietzsche’s metaphysics of nature is that nature represented as an unknowable chaos. The finger is pointed at Nietzsche for the nihilistic sensibilities of modernity and he is judged to emptied human existence of intrinsic value. This interpretation of Nietzsche's metaphysics of nature that of Stanley Rosen and Leo Strauss?) nature is the standard for values, but since nature is chaos, then all values are relative to man’s will to power.

This is close to Heidegger's interpretation.
