In this episode of FRESHImage Presents, Tony Crescio, takes a deep dive into the thought of 19th century philosopher who famously coined the phrase, “God is dead,” Friedrich Nietzsche. By overviewing some of Nietzsche’s works, such as The Gay Science, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Beyond Good and Evil and On the Genealogy of Morality, Tony demonstrates how Nietzsche’s thought has greatly influenced our postmodern mentality. In the end, we are challenged not only to reflect upon Nietzsche’s impact on our society, but our own personal worldviews as well.
