An approach to Nietzche: the dawn of Posmodernism and the challenges for theology

Abstract

West, as it happens, is an accumulation of ideological conflicts, which is, in part, the result of the intellectual work of postmodern thinkers. In this sense, an approach to the philosophical thought of Nietzsche, consecrated as a precursor of postmodernism, is necessary in order to project his influence to this post-Enlightenment era, as well as to expose his vigorous attacks against the great fundamental categories of natural thought, more specifically against the categories of truth, reason, value, principle, essence, etc. This set of subversive ideas also has an impact on Christian theology, which, although long built on classical metaphysics, is affected in its foundations.
