Death of a God - Kaminoshi

Japanese: 神の死 - かみのし
Death of a God - Kaminoshi
A Nietzsche term. For Nietzsche, who preached that "God is dead," the death of God was not simply an overcoming of Christianity, but also a declaration of nihilism. According to Nietzsche, the essence of life is the "will to power," and the will to power interprets the world in a way that is necessary to sustain itself. Christianity is a fictional interpretation of the world created by the weak. The superior strong see themselves as good and the weak as inferior, but the herd-like weak reverse this value system, defining the dominant strong as evil and elevating themselves to the standard, thereby justifying themselves.

Japanese:
ニーチェの用語。〈神は死んだ〉と説いたニーチェにとって,神の死とは単にキリスト教の超克ではなく,ニヒリズムの宣言でもあった。ニーチェによると生の本質は〈力への意志〉であり,力への意志はみずからを維持するために必要な世界解釈を行う。キリスト教は弱者が虚構した世界解釈である。優れた強者は自己を善とし弱者を劣悪とするが,畜群的な弱者はこの価値観を転倒させ,支配する強者を邪悪と規定してみずからを基準の位置に高め,正当化する。
