就像他自己笔下的查拉图斯特拉一样,尼采似乎对宗教深怀敌意:他似乎想用“超人”这一更为健康的人类理想来取代神。他关于狄奥尼索斯的谈论看起来不过是戏谑的玩笑。而且在他的哲学立场中明确地存在关于对宗教的敌意的重要根据:他的诚实坦荡的批判怎么能够允许他去相信那些虚构——他又怎么可能认为将一个人的价值视作某位神祇命定之结果的做法是健全的?理查森教授考察了这些反对宗教的有力理由,发现这些理由都在于宗教在信仰和意志方面的缺陷。他试图表明,尼采还在第三种领域上找到了神所具有的至关重要的优势,即情绪或情感的领域;尼采认为他对于神有一种严肃的需要,因为他需要保持某种对他而言极为重要的享有特权的情感。
Nietzsche, like his character Zarathustra, may seem deeply hostile to religion: he may seem to replace gods with the Übermensch, as a healthier human ideal. His talk about Dionysus may seem merely playful jesting. And he clearly has important grounds for hostility to religion in his philosophical stance: how could his critical honesty ever allow him to believe in these fictions--and how could he think it healthy to see one's values as commanded by a god? Professor Richardson examines these strong reasons against religion, lying in its disadvantages for belief and for will. But he will try to show that Nietzsche finds a crucial benefit to gods in a third domain, that of the affects or feelings, and Nietzsche thinks that he has a serious need for gods to sustain one privileged feeling of crucial importance to him.
