Abstract

Pride and humility are also determinant in original Christianity. To examine Christian humility, we will await the arrival of an exceptional guest. The Nietzschean interpretation of Christianity allows us to recover the Greek heroes and other ancient heroes. I try to set out with some precision the Nietzschean idea of the transvaluation of values and his interpretation of Christian humility from the perspective of resentment, as well as offering an alternative interpretation. In this way, I hope to create a context for the singularity of a completely new kind of love and pride: those of the great Zarathustra, the atheist.
