The death of God is recognized philosophically as less about the existential status of God and more about the metaphysical foundations of the modern world. This essay addresses the death of God declaration made most famous by Nietzsche and an engagement with it by Michel Foucault to highlight how an afropessimist intervention is needed to get a sharper picture of the modern metaphysical landscape. In as much as the death of God marks the possible challenging of metaphysical restraints through transgression, it also, upon further investigation, obscures a political theology of antiblackness
