Politeísmo versus monoteísmo: el desarrollo de la crítica a la religión cristiana en la obra de Friedrich Nietzsche

Abstract

IF IN GREEK POLYTHEISM MEN GLORIFIED THEMSELVES AS WELL AS THEIR DRIVES, JEWISH- CHRISTIAN MONOTHEISM STANDS FOR MAN'S ALIENATION FROM HIMSELF AND FROM HIS NATURAL INSTINCTS. DIONYSUS IS TRANSFORMED INTO A METAPHOR OF EXISTENCE IN WHICH PAIN DOES NOT STAND FOR ANY ARGUMENT AGAINST LIFE'S ASSERTION; THE ONE GOD OF WESTERN TRADITION, ON THE OTHER HAND, HAS TO BE DESTROYED IN CONSCIENCE BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN TRANSFORMED INTO THE MAIN OBSTACLE TO MAN'S SELF-ACCOMPLISHMENT. IT IS NOT RELIGION IN GENERAL THAT IS ALWAYS SHOWN AS A HUMAN BEING'S SELF-INTERPRETATION WHICH IS TRANSFORMED IN THE CORE OF NIETZSCHE'S CRITICISM, BUT A MORAL INTERPRETATION OF THE SYNONYMOUS WORLD OF CHRISTIANITY THAT SHOWED ITSELF AT ODDS WITH MAN'S EROTIC DRIVES.
