Nietzsche

Explanation

Nietzsche is invoked to explain the phrase “the death of God” as the death of a historical mode of sacralization, not as an absolute negation of faith. Through him, Mohammed Arkoun links the transformation of sacralization in Europe to the possibility that it may change historically in other contexts.
