Friedrich Nietzsche and the humanity of humankind
Journal Title: International Journal of Pedagogy, Innovation and New Technologies - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Since Friedrich Nietzsche’s death in 1900, the publications concerned with his work are countless. Theology made various attempts to interpret Nietzsche’s religious criticism and to rebut his arguments. The article points out that Christian theology should rather focus on Nietzsche’s critique than on the defense of its own posits, because in Nietzsche’s religious criticism a demand for an authentic anthropological self-fulfillment becomes recognizable that represents a task for modern theology. The theological discipline of religious education focuses on the human being and its self-fulfillment in a religious perspective. Therefore it combines pedagogical and theological questions. With this argument in mind, it shall be outlined how the analysis of Nietzsche’s work is a valuable contribution in the pursuit of the religious question what it means to be human.It can be illustrated that the field of religious education has to reinforce its endavour to take religious criticism such as Nietzsche’s seriously. Nietzsche’s religious criticism reminds theology to focus on the connection between human existence and its analysis of life. The theological emphasis on transcendence as an indispensable part of human life must not lead to a the religious perspective of life that is no longer connected to earthly conditions. Religious Education has to strengthen the nexus between a culture of faith and the contemporary conditions human life is situated in.<br/><br/>
