The political message of Nietzsche’s ‘God is dead’ | Lesley Chamberlain
Nietzsche’s declaration was not an atheist broadside in today’s context, but an attack on the link between reason and divinityFriedrich Nietzsche heralds the “death of God” poetically in his Zarathustra book of 1884, and returns to it as a philosophical dictum in The Antichrist (1888). By philosophical I mean this wasn’t an atheist broadside against belief and believers of the kind we’ve become accustomed to in our own time – or, not only.
