The value shift of everything, 'God is dead.
Things that take a big part in our daily life have great importance in our lives.
What am I eating?
Where do I live with whom?
What book am I reading and what music am I listening to?
How do I relate to people?
How do I spend my free time?
What kind of sleep do I have?
How are my hygiene and health and what are the weather and climate like?
It occupies most of our daily life.
These things that make up most of our lives are really important in our lives.
And yet people neglect these things because of something they hold on to. The music and movies I see and hear these days have a greater impact on my life than the abstract peace of mankind. (Philosophy can be said to be the law of dealing with and nurturing these things.)
While advocating for 'God (things that individuals believe and support, such as money, power, and success beyond religious meaning)', we neglect the most important things.
'God is dead'
Nietzsche's saying that 'God is dead' had a tremendous impact and impact on Western society as it was accepted as the collapse of the absolute value that people implicitly based on.
Philosophers who asked what the truth was, began to question their own will and attitude to pursue the truth, psychologists were greatly influenced by Nietzsche's analysis of the unconscious and impulses, and painters removed the supremacy of the vanishing point on the screen and Beginning to break free from perspective, musicians began experimenting with breaking the harmonic system.
Nietzsche had a tremendous influence, positive or negative.
But Nietzsche's greatness does not lie in this influence.
Creating spectacles, that is, smoking and making sounds, is what Nietzsche calls 'false fire'. Nietzsche's greatness lies in this simplicity.
Nietzsche often used the phrase 'change the value of everything'.
Wasn't it a warning sound to people in the world who confuse 'important' and 'unimportant'?
"These little things are far more important than ever thought important. This is where re-learning begins."
- 《Look at this man》, Nietzsche
This is what Nietzsche calls 'the death of God' and 'a transformation of values.'
Small things are incredibly important.
