ABSTRACT

Nietzsche was among the first to recognize the predicament in which human beings had been left by the scientific revolution. In his powerful, aphoristic way, he depicted, without regret, the death of God, the passing of the major value-giving myth of Western culture. He recognized that this left a void, which the science of his day could not fill. He sought a new science, one that would do justice to the potentialities of human beings.
