Why there was no need for Nietzsche to kill Being (God) and affirm only Becoming
If we say as Plato said that it is God
and not man who is the measure of all thing, this is true in the
sense that Godhood is life evolved beyond man to the zenith of
material evolution, and not Godhood separated from life and man by a
non-material spiritualism. In not admitting a separation between the
material and spiritual this does not distance God from us, it brings
Godhood closer to us and to life.
There was no need for Nietzsche to kill
Being (God) and affirm only Becoming, because Godhood is both
Becoming and Being. That everything evolves defines the world of
Becoming, but there is a goal to Becoming: life evolves in the
material and supermaterial world to Godhood. But this is a Godhood which never stops
evolving, or becoming, or recurring in the cosmos, so we need not affirm
a static, non-active or even non-material definition of Godhood.
But like new wine in old bottles, this
theological material ontology need not destroy the old
traditional symbolic and spiritual God, it conservatively transforms
Godhood. There is no need
to kill God, or consider Godhood the opiate of the people, or even accept the void as purpose. This is a Godhood which affirms real life, religion, philosophy, and even science.
