When he declared that God was dead, when he cast his prophet Zarathustra among us and created the Superman, Nietzsche shook the world like no other before. He upended the entire architecture of thought and philosophy up to that time. From the end of the 19th century until today, the German philosopher has influenced and ignited continuous polemics. From the beginning, some critics have declared that Nietzsche was more of a rebellious poet, he did not create a school of thought like, say, Kant or Hegel. But still, he created turbulence that is still felt today. In particular, his earthquake affected theology and the faith of the Christian world. It is well known that every scholar, theologian, practitioner, believer or priest, has an opponent to defeat. He is Nietzsche.
It is understood that in our country, most of us have been content with the great debate that thinkers have had in this field, and we have either followed them in the original or waited for them to be translated. But there are researchers who have fought their own battle.
Andrea Xhani is a lawyer in Berat, with a great passion for theology and mysticism. He has devoted a lot of time to Nietzsche's revelations, and has tried to fight them. In two books, “Zarathustra, Don Quixote of Philosophy”, and “Nietzschean Illusions”, Xhani presents his arguments why Nietzsche's revelations are insufficient and have not succeeded in bringing a moral and spiritual order or guidance to the world, but have only contested the 2 thousand year old one.
Gianni concludes that Nietzsche, despite his claims, did not succeed in creating a universal guide for humanity. Only the highest source of knowledge and truth, the divine, remains such.
In this context, the author distinguishes human limitations and limits in the conclusions and books of the German philosopher.
If Nietzsche attacked the Christian tradition and tried to free man from the morality of religion that he considered an obstacle or prison, according to Gianni, he did not succeed in paving a new path, a new order, a different universal leadership.
Not a few philosophers and thinkers have attempted to be the new revelation of the world to reject the existing. Marx was one of them. He influenced Europe and the world like few others with his manifesto. He also declared that spirituality does not exist, but only matter, denying the creator. But again, the transcendental has continued, and is part of humanity, where the world finds its source again.
It is very interesting that in our days when people do not have much time for contemplation and reflection, where most people run after material things, after wealth, greed and vice, there are still people who follow their passion for the supernatural, for mysticism, for the great debates of the universe. Andrea Xhani is one of them. In a city like Berat that does not rush much, after finishing his daily work as a lawyer, he researches topics beyond and brings us books like these that are worth reading.
