Abstract

The article offers information on the philosophy of self-annihilation of God. It discusses the ideology of William Blake which pertains to the death of God from Spirit negativity and alienation, naming the Alien God as Satan. It mentions the role of nihilism in addressing God's self-saving, absolute nothingness, and life illusions manifested by absent prophetic voice in religious bodies. It relates that Hegelian philosophers such as Soren Kierkegaard and Karl Marx believes on the absolute reversal and ultimate transfiguration of God and Satan. The author argues that Satan is the only one who undergoes self-annihilation of God.
