In a series of essays, conferences, and lectures over the period 1959-73, Michel Foucault directly engaged the writings of Nietzsche. This article demonstrates the five different modalities of Foucault's use of Nietzsche's writings: namely, critical, epistemological, linguistic, alethurgic, and political. Each of these modalities is tied to a particular intellectual turning point in Foucault's philosophical investigations and can be located chronologically in five important texts from that period
