Nietzsche i teologia

The paper attempts to propose a Christian reaction to the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. The first part is a concise reconstruction of his anthropological project, undertaken on the basis of his later works. The second part presents the main reasons for the attractiveness of his work and the context in which it was written. In the last part, partly with some reference to Max Scheler’s Ressentiment and Christian Morality, the author sketches the framework of the Christian answer. (1) Placing of the idea of the fullness of new life in the center of Christian soteriology, (2) recognizing the merciful love of God to human beings as an expression of the divine perfection and power and (3) looking for new convincing descriptions of the ways to the divine transcendence against a background of the experiences of self-transcendence (eros and thanatos) are the main elements of the adequate Christian reaction to the proposal of the German philosopher.
