  One of the most important philosophers in history, the German Friedrich
Nietzsche, is almost ignored by physicists. This author who declared the death
of God in the 19th century was a science enthusiast, especially in the second
period of his work. With the aid of the physical concept of force, Nietzsche
created his concept of will to power. After thinking about energy conservation,
the German philosopher had some inspiration for creating his concept of eternal
recurrence. In this article, some influences of physics on Nietzsche are
pointed out, and the topicality of his epistemological position$-$the
perspectivism$-$is discussed. Considering the concept of will to power, I
propose that the perspectivism leads to an interpretation where physics and
science in general are viewed as a game.
