This dissertation explicates and extends Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche's idea that "the ascetic ideal" provides meaning for suffering. I argue that responding to meaningless suffering is the singularly most important feature in the generation of religious, political, and moral narratives that identify, define, and enclose suffering within frameworks that dynamically seek to hold the reality of suffering as meaningful. I take it as given that meaningless suffering is cognitively and morally intolerable and essentially requires a response. The problem of suffering, as I understand it in this dissertation, is a problem of how to understand the dynamic relationship that narratives hold with suffering. Narratives shift and redefine the meaning of suffering as the terrain of suffering itself shifts. This constant movement discloses to us that cultivating better responses to suffering is a practice of critique of inherited ideas about suffering, as well as an ongoing and never-ending practice of relating oneself to the terrible novelty that meaningless suffering brings with it. I argue that interpretations of suffering tell us about the vision of life to which these interpretations belong, and interpretations of suffering are themselves generative of religious, political, and social realities that, in turn, condition the vision of life from which they emerge. Ultimately, the problem of suffering is not a problem that can be solved, but only a problem that can be lived through. Further, I extend Nietzsche's critique of pessimism and suicidal nihilism to argue that how narratives understand suffering points toward ideas about the value of life itself. A truly "life affirmative" stance is one that can affirm the eternal repetition of our identical lives. Time, as our currency on earth, is limited and the suffering that comes with this recognition is an ever-present feature within Nietzsche's analysis of the concept of suffering. I argue that in addition to providing a key way of understanding the generation of narratives of existential import, suffering is inherently temporal: both because it is temporary, but also because suffering occurs in time.
