| Sumario: | This article explores Friedrich Nietzsche's critique of Judeo-Christian morality, considering the influence of theologian Franz Overbeck on his view of Christianity. The analysis is based on an examination of major works such as The Antichrist, On the Genealogy of Morality, and Thus Spoke Zarathustra. The Nietzschean perspective unfolds through a tripartite conception of nihilism—passive, active, and future. This is exemplified by the metamorphosis of the spirit announced by Zarathustra, through the three metaphorical figures that progress from the camel to the lion, and from the lion to the child. The journey culminates in the figure of the overman as the synthesis of this metamorphosis: a being who has traversed all stages to become the architect of his own existence, affirming life and creating new values after the "death of God." Thus, Nietzsche presents himself as the "redeemer of chance," but the article questions whether his endeavor can ultimately lead to the redemption of humanity. |
