G. P. Xavier | The Pious Antichrist: Nietzsche as a Religious Thinker (Aron van Os Interview) @gpxavier | Uploaded January 2024 | Updated October 2024, 4 minutes ago.
Aron van Os teaches philosophy at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. His Master's thesis was titled 'The Pious Antichrist: Nietzsche as a Religious Thinker,' and explores Nietzsche's complicated relationship with Christianity. In this interview, Aron discusses Nietzsche's inner conflict between the ideals of 'Dionysus' and 'the Crucified,' how this conflict eventually became one-sided and destructive, and how it could become harnessed as a productive and positive tension that embraces both this life and the transcendent.
