Nietzsche and the transformation of the Spirit of Man

Abstract

In this writing is a brief reflection on the powerful images of the transformation of the human spirit that Nietzsche envisioned as a way of addressing the spiritual crisis of his own time, characterized by the decline of the religious spirit and the triumph of positivist materialism. Nietzsche, equally suspicious of both sides in the conflict between religious faith and scientific reason, projected his own moral and aesthetic convictions about human nature in a poetic vision that has inspired other thinkers and artists since then.
