This booklet additionally analyzes the tips which are important to the philosophy of Nietzsche, demonstrating that the values at the foundation of which he breaks with Wagner and repudiates their universal mentor, Schopenhauer, are these primary to modernity. Brayton Polka uses the severe contrast that Kierkegaard attracts among Christianity and Christendom. Christianity represents what Nietzsche calls the religion that's presupposed in unconditionally keen the reality in asserting convinced to existence. Christendom, against this, represents the undesirable religion of nihilism in asserting no to lifestyles. Polka then indicates that Wagner, in following Schopenhauer, represents Christendom with the demonstration in his operas that lifestyles is not anything yet demise and dying is not anything yet existence. In different phrases, the aim of the need for Wagner is to annihilate the need, because it is just in and during loss of life that humans are liberated from existence as willfully sinful. Nietzsche, by contrast, is in line with the biblical idea that life is produced from not anything, from not anything that's not made within the photo of God, that any declare that the desire can won't to will is contradictory and for this reason fake. For to not will is, honestly, nonetheless to will not anything. there's then, Nietzsche exhibits, no get away from the need. both humans will the reality in announcing sure to lifestyles as made out of not anything, or in actually keen not anything, they are saying no to lifestyles in worshiping the God of Christendom who's dead.
