Lovitt: GESICHTSPUNKT - POINT-OF-VIEW

"Point-of-view" (Gesichtspunkt  ) is hyphenated in order to differentiate it from its usual meaning, point of view as a subjective opinion   or standpoint. The latter meaning is present in Gesichtspunkt as it is used here; but Heidegger stresses immediately that what is mainly involved in valuing for Nietzsche   is, rather, a focusing on the point that is in view.
