FAQ About Friedrich Nietzsche
What did Nietzsche mean by the 'death of God'?
The phrase 'death of God' is an allegorical expression used by Nietzsche to describe the decline of religious and metaphysical certainty in the modern world. It signifies the loss of faith in a singular, absolute framework for meaning, which had been provided by traditional Christianity. Nietzsche saw this as both a crisis and an opportunity for humanity to redefine values and seek new ways of living authentically.
