The Priest in Nietzsche: Rival and Model

弗雷德里克·尼采自称是“反基督”者，他把“牧师”描绘成自己的大敌。最近对尼采的研究揭示了尼采总体上对神职人员的态度的细微差别；尼采对他的敌人所坚持的复杂的、确实的、尊重的音符现在被更广泛地欣赏。还没有被探索的是，尼采在多大程度上复制了他的祭司对手的许多策略，并以同样的方式继续寻找生存意义、价值创造和从虚无主义中的一种神秘的逃避。通过这个镜头来看待尼采的哲学计划，不仅将打开与19世纪其他准宗教、浪漫主义、哲学计划的新契合点，而且还将对当代人文主义的潮流产生影响。这将是尼采对牧师的第一次系统的处理，它的背景，它的论点，它的哲学影响。

Fredrick Nietzsche was a self-proclaimed 'Anti-Christ' who depicted 'the priest' as his great enemy. Recent Nietzsche studies have uncovered nuances to Nietzsche's overall approach to 'priesthood'; the complex, indeed, respectful notes that Nietzsche maintains towards his enemy are now more broadly appreciated. What has not yet been explored, is the extent Nietzsche replicates many of the strategies of his priestly rival, and, in like manner, continues the hunt for existential meaning, value-creation, and a 'mystical' escape from nihilism. Viewing Nietzsche's philosophical project through this lens will not only open up new points of contract with other quasi-religious, Romanticist, philosophical projects of the nineteenth century but also its influence upon currents within contemporary humanism. This will be the first systematic treatment of the priest in Nietzsche, its context, its argument, and its philosophical influence.
