Atheism and the Divine in Nietzsche

Dr John Mandalios (CTC Honorary research associate)

My discussion will reflect some research in progress on the question of atheism and Nietzsche, in particular on why the divine is present in Nietzsche's cosmos. Rejecting the standard interpretation - science versus religion - the analysis rather shows two major errors of Christian monotheism at the core of his account of modern religion. Christ represents both an exception and exemplar by contrast.
