Postmodernism, Nietzsche, and Theothanatology - a podcast by Daniel Dal Monte

In this episode, I discuss again the death of God theology. I root this movement in the rational religion of Kant, which sought to remove the doctrines of historical religions and make them subordinate to an ahistorical and universal moral law. I then describe Nietzsche’s character, Zarathustra, and how he sees the “meaning of the earth” in the transcendence of the human in the Ubermensch. I finally discuss Heidegger’s notion of anxiety and how it reveals the contingency of all meaning and the inner emptiness of the world.
