Abstract	Gabriel Marcel's writings are intricately intertwined with Nietzsche's philosophy. As one of the most respected representatives of existential thought, Marcel acknowledges the significance of Nietzsche's ideas while recognizing that he grapples with a thinker who is both distant and very close. Marcel's references to Nietzsche's philosophy are linked with Nietzsche's statement "God is dead." For Marcel, the declaration of the "death of the divine" emerges as a theme that underscores both the magnitude and tragedy of Nietzsche. In this context, Marcel regards the contradictions in Nietzsche's philosophical thought as both dangerous and fruitful. This study will discuss the influence of Nietzsche on Gabriel Marcel's ideas and Marcel's interpretation of the phrase "God is Dead."
