Twilight of the Idols

Methodology and Conclusions

In «Twilight of the Idols», Friedrich Nietzsche employs a methodology of critical analysis and philosophical deconstruction to explore and dismantle the traditional values and ideas of Western culture. Nietzsche uses an aphoristic style, allowing him to express complex ideas in a concise and provocative manner. He questions established moral and philosophical concepts, such as Christian morality, rationalism, and metaphysics, asserting that they are based on illusions and weakness. Nietzsche aims to show that these 'idols' hinder a true understanding of life and human nature. His conclusions emphasize the necessity of reevaluating all values and creating new, more viable and authentic foundations for human existence. He calls for the affirmation of life, the will to power, and acceptance of the world as it is, without illusions and self-deception.
