Book Description

March 6, 2007
What if a believer in God wants to adopt the atheistic teachings of Nietzsche? Golan shows Nietzsche can deepen one’s religious experience and explain eternal life.

Did Nietzsche love or hate Jews? Golan presents all Nietzsche’s writings on the Jews and discovers why Nietzsche both lauded and castigated them.

What if Schelling had taught in a rabbinical yeshiva instead of a university? Golan shows Schelling’s discovery of the roots of evil explains suffering and the Book of Job.

What if quantum physicists had studied Jewish law? Golan shows they would explain how repentance (“teshuvah”) works.

Does history have meaning? Golan shows where to find it, what man should do and how to relate to the Holocaust.

What if the Rambam and Ari, Maimonides and Luria, had read Nietzsche and Kierkegaard? Golan shows they would answer all great philosophical questions.

Professor Emil Fackenheim called Golan’s dialogue with Nietzsche “an exciting example” of an “urgently necessary encounter between Judaism and modern philosophy” and said Golan's “Nietzsche is deep.”

God, Man and Nietzsche is for anyone who has ever asked himself how to talk to God, why to be good, or what is happening in history.

5.0 out of 5 stars An insightful philosophical examination, September 5, 2007
This review is from: God, Man and Nietzsche: A Startling Dialogue between Judaism and Modern Philosophers (Paperback)
Former director of the Israel office of the Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies Zev Golan presents God, Man and Nietzsche, an evenhanded look as to what a believer of God can learn from the atheistic teachings of Nietzsche, while retaining his faith. Chapters discuss how Nietzsche viewed the Jews - ultimately revealing how he both praised and chided them - how to find meaning in history, even such atrocious and horrific history as the Holocaust, the intersection between quantum physics and Jewish law, and much more. An insightful philosophical examination sure to provoke thoughtful discussion among students of Nietzschean and Judaic philosophy alike.
