Night School: God is Dead. But Who Killed Him?

“God is dead,”  announces the madman in Friedrich Neitszche’s The Gay Science. But the quote is incomplete. He goes on to say, “but we killed him.” To get a better sense of this most famous and perhaps most misunderstood of quotable quotes, your hosts give you both context and begin a process of clarification by suggesting what the statement does not mean.
