Nietzsche’s philosophy is often attacked as ultimately pessimistic, relativistic, or destructive. Little or non-attention has been paid to his positive philosophy as such. This research intends to elucidate Nietzsche’s positive philosophy in light of his critical philosophy. This is done by showing the artificial character of the dogmatic conceptions that underlie traditional philosophy, metaphysics, religions, and humankind’s perception of reality in general. Here, the death of god is read as Nietzsche intended: as a diagnostic of his time. This is done accompanied by a fine and detailed analysis of the main points of his critique: the idea of thing-in-itself, absolute truth, substance, cause and effect, logic, etc. and the main points of his proposal: the overman, the eternal recurrence, will to power, transvaluation of values, etc. Ultimately, Nietzsche’s constructive philosophy depends on recognizing the artificial character of human crafts in an accentuation of life.
