Nietzsche and What Remains After the Death of God | Philosophy for Sleep

What happens when inherited values keep their emotional force after their old foundations lose authority? This calm, source grounded documentary follows Friedrich Nietzsche as he diagnoses nihilism and searches for forms of value creation that do not collapse into emptiness or domination. The episode traces Nietzsche's development from The Birth of Tragedy through his free spirit writings, The Gay Science, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Beyond Good and Evil, On the Genealogy of Morality, and the books of eighteen eighty-eight. It explains the Apollonian and Dionysian, perspectivism, the death of God, ressentiment, bad conscience, the ascetic ideal, the overhuman, eternal recurrence, amor fati, self-overcoming, will to power, politics, and the later misuse of his work. Designed for calm long form listening, study, relaxation, or sleep, the narration remains unhurried while preserving philosophical nuance and serious objections.
