Dangerous crossing Painting

Nietzsche’s The Birth of Tragedy (1872) inaugurated a career devoted to diagnosing the Western cultural crisis engendered by the so-called ‘death of god’ and the loss of any basis for objective values. Typically, Nietzsche is regarded as hostile to Christianity, which he derides as ‘passive nihilism’. This essay complicates this understanding by assessing how figurations of nihilism in Nietzsche’s work reveal collusions as well as collisions between tragedy and the figure of Christ (if not institutional Christianity). Nietzsche imagines nihilism in terms of movement, transition and crossover: a guest at the door, an amphibian, a traveller on a bridge.
