Nietzsche vs Kierkegaard: what do we do with God's silence?
NIETZSCHE vs KIERKEGAARD go head to head — and every jab is rooted in real history.
NIETZSCHE
God is dead, and we have killed him—so stop trembling and become the creators of your own values.
KIERKEGAARD
Precisely where reason ends and terror begins, faith takes its leap; despair is not the end of the self but its birth.
NIETZSCHE
Your 'leap' is a beautiful cowardice, Søren—you saw the abyss and shut your eyes with a prayer.
KIERKEGAARD
And your Übermensch, Friedrich, is only a man who cannot bear to kneel—so he crowns himself and calls the loneliness freedom.
