Psychology in Nietzsche's Criticism of Religion

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the intersection of psychology and religion, this book explores Friedrich Nietzsche's critical insights through the lenses of attachment theory and self-psychology. Jan-Olav Henriksen analyzes Nietzsche's views on individualism, God, morality, and emotions, revealing how his critiques of religion stem from psychological fragmentation and a significant loss of the guidance that religion offered him in his youth. This fresh perspective enhances the understanding of Nietzsche's philosophical contributions and their deeper psychological implications.
