The Divine Putrefaction in the Nietzschean Philosophy

Abstract

The intention of this article is to show the relevance of the death of God in nietzschean philosophy by considering that opens the possibility, for the human being, to configure another way of developing his existence. It is not just a matter of thinking about “divine putrefaction” as a theoretical development, but as a great event from which the human being has the possibility of living away from the values imposed by Christianity. The goal is look at the reach of the death of God and recognizing that Nietzsche is the first “philosopher of danger” to dare to look at the imperative need for human beings to renounce to the idea of God.
