CHAPTER

The Death of God and Human Purpose

This chapter explores Nietzsche's declaration of the 'death of God' and its profound existential implications for humanity's quest for meaning. It contrasts traditional religious beliefs with a modern view of nature as devoid of inherent significance, highlighting the existential crisis this shift engenders. Through discussions of the ubermensch and critiques of spiritual egoism, the chapter urges a reevaluation of cultural values in a post-Christian world.
