For the last class, we got to walk around outside in groups. Our group started talking about Kierkegaard, which turned into a discussion of religion and how we feel about it. We also talked some about Marxism and communism.
What did you think? Was it fun being outside?

ReplyDeleteIf you are refereing to Nietzsche's ''God is dead,'' then he isn't saying that God is actually dead. There is just no point in thinking about this subject and therefore the subject is dead.
That makes perfect sense now, I did not really understand what Nietzsche meant by that phrase. Thanks for clarification!
DeleteI agree with Nikita. I think Nietzsche is saying that believing in God is not reasonable or rational, so the belief is dead. The absence of God, in Nietzsche's eyes, opened the possibility for humans to create and destroy limits.
ReplyDeleteFQ: Nietzche associates his view of the death of tragedy with who? (Socrates)
ReplyDeleteDQ: Do you agree with Nietzsche about his views on believing in God?

Unfortunately, my class did not get to go outside, as it was much colder on Tuesday. I would love to have been a part of your discussion on religion. It is one of my favorite topics.
