In this video I explain what Nietzsche meant when he said God is dead and what this entails for us. This phrase comes up in many of his works but I focused on it's usage in The Gay Science. If we consider the history of philosophy and the results of the enlightenment, we come to see the death of God as the death of an ideal, a transcendent ideal that provided answers on meaning, values, morality, etc. This makes the death of God more of a psychological phenomenon rather than a physical one.
