Abstract   (8280 Views)
Nietzsche’s symbolic and poetic language demands close textual analysis and an intertextual reading. As a philosopher committed to dismantling traditional values, Nietzsche, despite his religious upbringing, can be seen as offering a comprehensive critique of Christian thought. This essay provides a line-by-line, empathetic interpretation of the Three Metamorphoses chapter from Thus Spoke Zarathustra, focusing on Nietzsche’s potential engagement with the New Testament. It examines his ironic phrases in dialogue with foundational Christian ideas while piecing together fragments of his thought to reveal a coherent system. By oscillating between parts and the whole, the study aims to deepen the understanding of Nietzsche’s enigmatic mind and language in this passage. Ultimately, it suggests that institutionalized Christianity within Nietzsche compels him to revolt with Christ against Christianity itself.
