Nietzsche and the Power as a problem after the God's death: notes on the 'numinous' appearance of power's experience in Thus Spoke Zarathustra

This article aims to outline the first steps that allow us to rethink the problem of power and the power's experience in Nietzsche's philosophy through the category of "numinous", which we'll import from the fields of psychology and phenomenology of religion (especially in G. van der Leeuw and R. Otto). But the "numinous, kept in its traditional sphere of application, is obviously (following our Nietzsche's reading) a category of the nihilism and decadence, the "spirit of gravity" - "that cowardly devil says: "There God!"(cf. KSA 4, AsZ, Von den Abtrunnigen)- because it is the Object of religion, "the absolutely Other" (in relation to the Subject). Nevertheless, we must remember that the contribution of Rudolf Otto in creating this neologism was the daring to explore the divine ("the holy") under its irrational aspect, powerful and extra-moral. However, after the "God's death" imposes a problem on three fronts: the dissolution of God (as absolutely other numinous object), and the concomitant overcoming of man (as a subject) - god's death explodes in the very heart of these concepts: "subject", "object" and the "relationship" between them. If "God is dead ", then the power (as power, impulse, dynamis, ros) is immediately problematized. That is, if God is dead, the problem of the "Object "(the power) is compromised. All the powerful/numinous/tremendous/contagious/fascinating charge of that dead Object will flow in other away. Investigate "the where" of that flowing is what we ask here, since this will give us the first patterns and lines to problematize a new resignification of the concept and the experience of "Power".
