Nietzsche,+Friedrich

Among Nietzsche's concepts are the overman, the eternal recurrence and the death of God. The concept of the the death of God has been particularly strongly received and assimilated into existentialist or nihilistic philosophies. To do this is perhaps to take his writings out of context, as he was more a proponent of Dionysian freedom and unity rather than nihilism and 'nothingness'.
 * Friedrich Nietzsche** (1844-1900) was an exceptional German philosopher. His discourses on religion, morality, and the will to power have inspired many thinkers (including Foucault) to either develop his ideas or starkly disagree. His philosophy is strongly based on direct, personal experience and tends to be criticized by strict theoreticians.

One can interpret the concept of the death of God within the postmodern context where it manifests as the uncertainty following the breakdown of meta-narratives. In other words, within Globalization and the Global Village there is a lot of migration and rapid technological advancements occur. People often have the //choice// of religion, education, and political support and this choice spectrum has created a plurality of smaller organizations and niche groups. Therefore the propogation of techonology has unified the world in one sense, and fragmented it in another; many have lost the sense of //amour fati// - the love of their fate - or of any kind of 'unifying force' such as God as a faith-concept or the God as themselves, as is discussed by way of Nietzsche's idea of the overman.
