- Title
Nietzsche's 'Death of God,' Modernism and Postmodernism in the Twentieth Century: Insights from Altizer and Vattimo.
- Authors
Harris, Matthew Edward
- Abstract
The article presents a comparison between the attempts made by theologian Thomas J. J. Altizer and philosopher Gianni Vattimo to use philosopher Nietzsche's announcement of the 'death of God' as a way of understanding the phenomenon of secularization as one involving a connection between the person of Jesus and the nihilism. Topics discussed include Altizer's book The Gospel of Christian Atheism, the death of Jesus Christ on the cross and Vattimo's commitment to Communism.
