### Friedrich Nietzsche: Creating Meaning After the Death of God

When Nietzsche declared that “God is dead,” he was not celebrating atheism, nor attacking belief. He was diagnosing a cultural crisis — the collapse of shared meaning, values, and moral certainty — a crisis we are still living through today.
In this 30-minute lecture, we will explore:

• What Nietzsche really meant by the death of God
• Why nihilism is the great danger of modern life
• The difference between passive and active nihilism
• How meaning can be created, rather than inherited
• Why Nietzsche’s challenge remains deeply personal and uncomfortable

This is not a motivational talk, nor an academic overview.
It is an existential confrontation with responsibility, meaning, and the individual.
As always, the lecture will be followed by a discussion, with Dr. Nash Jocic engaging directly with questions from the audience.
