It is perhaps the greatest paradox of western philosophy that Nietzsche, whose most famous sentence isundoubtedly “God is dead” (Nietzsche, 2012, p. 366;this and all the other translations are my own) should be theauthor of the only account of a Beatific Vision published in the nineteenth century. It can be found in Section 3 ofthe chapter on Also sprach Zarathustra in Ecce Homo. That God should choose to visit a man who once declaredthat He was dead will come as much of a surprise to Nietzsche’s readers as it did to him.
