| Summary: | The paper is an attempt at understanding the historic nature of the
transition to postmodernity, metaphysically reflected in Nietzsche’s words
“God is dead”, as it is, in its various aspects, manifested through the form
of post-patriarchal society. Post-patriarchal society is interpreted here as
an order of values anchored in the empty place previously held by original
and ultimate authority. Within the context of the (un)certain end of
metaphysics, it is, implicitly, necessary to explore the presuppositions on
which religion and the meaning of language are based today. Thus,
Nietzsche’s experience of the epoch will be considered in relation to
Žižek’s perception of “a genealogical desert between man and God”, which
provides a theoretical framework for the reinterpretation of our
understanding of the relation between religion, atheism and modernity. |
