FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE - THE NEW RELIGION OF METAPHYSIC NIHILISM

Human life is an endless sequence of problem situations and ways to overcome them. Friedrich Nietzsche proclaims doubt and nihilism as forms of existence in problem situation. They are the foundation of the, reassessment of all values". This reassessment is oriented to traditional, approved and wide spread principles and norms in society. The skepticism is an initial position and a transitional stage of denial. If someone denies something without thinking of it, he acts emotionally. Friedrich Nietzsche is a nihilist because his attitude is based on doubts, which are rationally motivated. In this paper the arguments are derived from his books "Thus Spoke Zarathustra", "The Antichrist" and "Twilight of the Idols".
