Nietzsche and the Death of God Theology

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) Perhaps best known is "God is dead, God is still dead, we killed him." (Nietzsche, The Gay Science 388). In the 1960's, a thinker on the death of divine theology in the United States, for example Thomas · Artises, "must understand that death of God is a historical event, God is in our era and I It is in the history of ours "Death" (Christian Atheism 61).) Although the concepts about the death of these two gods are different, there are several things in common: they face the opposite, religion is a human being I believe that it is a product of necessities, express the kind of humanity in India, recognizing the importance of coexistence, doctrine and interest.

"God is dead" (German: "Gott ist tot", also called Death of God) is widely quoted by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. Nietzsche used this expression in a metaphorical meaning to express the possibility that the Illuminati "believed" the belief in God or any god that had existed so far. Others such as the most powerful god supporters of theology of the gods used this expression literally. And it means that the god of Christians that once existed no longer exists.

A great atheist in the 19th century, Friedrich Nietzsche, declared death of God and understood that the death of God means destruction of every meaning and value in life. I think that Friedrich Nietzsche is correct. But here we need to pay close attention. The problem here is not that "Do we need to believe that God can live a moral life?" I did not claim to have to do this. The problem is not that "Can we admit objective moral values ​​without trusting God?" On the contrary, the problem is "If God does not exist, there is objective moral value?"

Since Nietzsche declared "the death of God", the problem of the possibility that there is no morality for God is outdated - death of objectivity as new semi-gods have created. Probably the result is postmodern era. Apart from Nietzsche, there are moral philosophers who have established moral systems, such as utilitarianism, pragmatism, hedonism, rational self-interest, without relying on the concept of God.

Nietzsche grew up in God's belly and Christian morality. His father, like his grandfather 's grandfather, was also a Lutheran pastor and Nietzsche himself went to university to study theology. Theological research may never have such a spectacular shedding - and then later ridicule Luther as "truth value" and declare himself to be a person of "antichristian" did. A year later the young Nietzsche turned to a classical philosophy at the university - text and culture studies of the ancient Greek and Roman world - even before he completed his doctoral dissertation, in 1869 Basel I was good at appointment of the university. He soon met with the composer Richard Wagner, became an apprentice for a while and imagined Wagner's concert to save European culture from the harmful influence of Christian morality.
