Paper Summary:

Nietzsche's position on God is a simple one: God is dead. Removing God from the picture, Nietzsche opened the door to raise the question of essence and how to achieve it. And he left us free to create it. The issue now becomes if we are absolutely free, able to do whatever it takes, whatever we wish in order to create our essence? This essay will argue that the answer is no, we are not absolutely free to do as pleased. In order to demonstrate this argument, Nietzsche's position on God and acquired freedom to act will be analyzed using the existentialism theory and moral responsibility as frameworks.
