- What is Nietzsche suggesting about the nature of a god?
- Consider what Nietzsche may have to say about "authorship." Who is the author of life? Of meaning?
Roland Barthes
-How might Barthes react to the claim "God is dead?" What does Barthes mean when he says that the "author is dead"? If he is right, what does this imply for how we read texts? What should we be expecting to learn from any particular book or essay we read?
