Abstract

Nietzsche is a an important philosopher whose works and ideas are have been debated and revisited not only in the Western tradition but also and in the Eastern traditions. For example, almost all of Nietzsche's ' s works have been translated into Turkish, and he is one the most translated European philosophers. There are also numerous scholarly works on Nietzsche, not only by philosophers, but also by literary scholars, theologians, cultural scholars, sociologists and even political scientists. The main reason for Nietzsche' ' popularity ity is that his philosophy can be read and interpreted from a variety of perspectives. . Nietzsche's 's ideas can be used to support and argue for any ideological tendency, or to criticize any ideological approach. As a result, Nietzsche has been variously described as a fascist, anarchist, atheist, religious, or even conservative. His most widely held and understood opinions are his interpretation of the phrase God is Dead and his portrayal of Nietzsche as an anti-religious character. Nietzsche, on the otherhand, is unafraid to challenge the dominant views of science, reason, and morality. This is because, according to Nietzsche, all previous values, beliefs, and acceptances have created a prejudice against the human capacity for understanding, ing, which can be eradicated by re-evaluating-evaluating values and reconstructing oneself. Nietzsche takes a genealogical approach, aiming to trace the errors of human history from its beginnings to the present. It is a historically grounded critique of metaphysics and superstition. It is critical to release people from the shackles of the past and help them get back on their feet. According to Nietzsche, the most crucial event that will disturb him /her is God's 's death. Only then can a person begin to examine his own thinking and question his fundamental identity. What does the short, revolutionary phrase God dying actually mean? Did Nietzsche declare war against all religions? How should Nietzsche be understood fundamentally? The present study is intended to answer these questions and to prevent unfounded and damaging discussions about Nietzsche.
