A triptych of essays. "The Midwife" aims to provide lessons in a novel field called "sacred obstetrics," or the midwifery of God. Its main postulate is that God must be reborn into the world as an antidote to a pervasive cultural nihilism. The "Postscript" takes up a number of issues explored by Anti-Kierkegaard in "The Midwife," such as irony, indirect communication, reflection, and the pia fraus. On the other side of the coin, in "The Euthanist," anti-Nietzsche explores the landscape of a fully immanent spirituality after the murder of transcendence.
