In this paper, I aim to demonstrate what “belief” brought in ancient Judaism from Nietzsche's The Antichrist (1888). In this analysis, it is necessary to consider Judaism as the basis of Christianity because I believe that interpreting Judaism as the origin of Christianity is key to understanding Nietzsche's critique. As he often referred to belief in his work, this concept can be used to clarify his thoughts on religion. I focus on sections 15 to 18 and 24 to 28 of The Antichrist, which primarily discuss ancient Judaism. In addition, I will refer to On the Genealogy of Morals (1887) and his posthumous writings (especially from 1887 to 1888). As it is challenging to understand Nietzsche's philosophy solely from his work, I also focus on Wellhausen's arguments, whose interpretation of the Bible influenced Nietzsche. This paper proceeds as follows: First, Section 1 describes how, as understood from The Antichrist, ancient Judaism is divided into `biblical Judaism' and `priestly Judaism', primarily due to the crisis of ethnic preservation caused by the Babylonian captivity, with Nietzsche's evaluation changing accordingly. I particularly focus on the relationship between God and humans in Judaism. Next, in Section 2, I consider the problem of values arising from this change and the idea of `God' that grounds those values through belief. Then, in Section 3, I examine Nietzsche's perspective on `belief' in ancient Judaism based on these considerations. I argue that `belief' allowe

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (15 October 1844 – 25 August 1900) was a German philosopher and writer who started his career as a classical philologist and turned to philosophy early in his academic career. His works and his philosophy have fostered not only extensive scholarship but also much popular interest. Nietzsche's work encompasses poetry, cultural criticism, and philosophical essays while Christianity is called the religion of pity. Pity stands opposed to the tonic emotions which heighten our vitality: it has a depressing effect. We are deprived of strength when we feel pity. That loss of strength in which suffering as such inflicts on life is still further increased and multiplied by pity. Pity makes suffering contagious. In Ecce Homo Nietzsche called the establishment of moral systems based on a dichotomy of good and evil a "calamitous error", and wished to initiate a re-evaluation of the values of the Christian world. He indicated his desire to bring about a new, more naturalistic source of value in the vital impulses of life itself. While Nietzsche attacked the principles of Judaism, he was not antisemitic: in his work On the Genealogy of Morality, he explicitly condemned antisemitism and pointed out that his attack on Judaism was not an attack on contemporary Jewish people but specifically an attack upon the ancient Jewish priesthood on whom he claimed antisemitic Christians paradoxically based their views. Nietzsche felt that modern antisemitism was "despicable" and contrary to European ideals. Its cause, in his opinion, was the growth in European nationalism and the endemic "jealousy and hatred" of Jewish success. He wrote that Jews should be thanked for helping uphold a respect for the philosophies of ancient Greece, and for giving rise to "the noblest human being (Christ), the purest philosopher (Baruch Spinoza), the mightiest book, and the most effective moral code in the world".

Knopf 34775 The Antichrist: Curse on Christianity Henry Louis Mencken Friedrich Nietzsche PREFACE This book belongs to the most rare of men. Perhaps not one of them is yet alive. It is possible that they may be among those who understand my “Zarathustra”: how could I confound myself with those who are now sprouting ears?—First the day after tomorrow must come for me. Some men are born posthumously. The conditions under which any one understands me, and necessarily understands me—I know them only too well. Even to endure my seriousness, my passion, he must carry intellectual integrity to the verge of hardness. He must be accustomed to living on mountain tops—and to looking upon the wretched gabble of politics and nationalism as beneath him. He must have become indifferent; he must never ask of the truth whether it brings profit to him or a fatality to him.... He must have an inclination, born of strength, for questions that no one has the courage for; the courage for the forbidden; predestination for the labyrinth. The experience of seven solitudes. New ears for new music. New eyes for what is most distant. A new conscience for truths t

... Antichrist ) is that Der Antichrist is a highly focused work on a critique of Christianity , and that the critique of morality , including Christian moral- ity , was a theme he planned to cover in the third volume of the Umwerthung ... This book focusses on Nietzsche's Der Antichrist as the first part of Nietzsche's planned four volume work (which was never completed) and explores how situating it in this way affects our understanding of Der Antichrist and The Revaluation of All Values, as well as of Nietzsche’s late philosophy more generally. The book considers what Der Antichrist can reveal about the four volume project and its philosophical project of the revaluation of values. It examines Nietzsche's other late books, his notebooks, and his letters in order to better understand the planned four volume work and the philosophical meaning of the revaluation of all values. Nietzsche thought deeply about values and this study of his late views (1883–1888) provides insights into value systems more generally. Nietzsche’s 'T
