Nietzsche

Nietzsche was not necessarily an Atheist, but his most famous quote from Thus Spake Zarathustra, “God is Dead,” seems to many to be his notion that there is no God. However, the way in which he writes his philosophy is that every aphorism and epigram must be taken in context. There are many outrageous things that he has said, and been able to justify, in his writings; but taken a simple, single quote, and it would seem that he was merely an enraged madman.

Most philosophers are within a “community” of philosophy, which offers them basic “immunity” from scholarly denunciations, insults, or reputability based on the fact that he went insane.

The contrast between good and evil came when the insurrection of the slaves came to change the morality; the attributes of the masters became vices of the slaves. Humility, charity, submission, and obedience became virtuous. Thus the beginning of “The Genealogy of Morals.”
