In Nietzsche's book, The Happy Science, he states that God is dead at the beginning of section 3 in aphorism 108. The meaning of this statement, in the context of providing a solid possible interpretation of Nietzsche's argument, is that God, not as a being, but as an idea is dead. To provide a conception of God as an idea, I believe it means an idea of ​​morality, living life in a certain way according to rules, justifying existence through a higher being, or seeing nature as a guided aspect of life. With this in mind, after analyzing aphorisms 108, 109, 111, 115, and 125, I believe that Nietzsche's argument is that God died due to a change in thinking, such as the evolution of logic. However, I believe that Nietzsche thinks that people are very afraid of this change and that they have actually stopped themselves from fully realizing the disappearance of God. In aphorism number 108 Nietzsche presents the argument that God is dead. The passage inspires contemplation on the state of the world following the disappearance of God. The absence of God, of course, means the absence of guiding principles, the absence of understanding why or how we live. The scary shadow that Nietzsche describes in the passage is all that remains of God. It's scary because, even though the idea of ​​God is dead, people continue to regress into that way of thinking. People showing the shadow in a cave means that people do it out of desperation. They seek refuge and security from the great unknown, which is life without God. By stating that people may continue to do so for millennia, I think Nietzsche is implying that it will be a long time before people fully adapt to the new way of life, however it is It is possible that the duration could be shorter. I believe this is a reference to the philosopher who knew the essence of life without God in the reality of ungoverned nature. The meaning of the madman's actions in breaking the lamp and saying that it is too early is only to say that people cannot move forward yet. God is dead and they still live in his shadow. Only the madman recognizes him because he is the philosopher; the logical man who recognizes that God is dead. He has the power to show people the new way of life, which is why he holds the lamp in his hand, but he realizes that he cannot do it because people are afraid and still live in the shadow of God. In conclusion Nietzsche states that God is died. This happened due to the evolution of logic. However, instead of being the widespread change that Nietzsche desires, it is mired in people's fear of the unknown. They are stuck in God's shadow, despite evolving logic, for an uncertain period of time.
