Is Jordan Peterson Existentialism?

In addition to being a thoroughgoing Jungian, Peterson, who has called himself “an existentialist at heart,” draws deeply on existentialism throughout his lectures.

What does Jordan Peterson say about Nietzsche?

Peterson's characterization of “truth”, which so flustered Harris, was, at least in his own words, derived from Friedrich Nietzsche. It may be the typical philosophical claim to hold that life ought to serve truth; Peterson claims that Nietzsche argued, on the contrary, that, “truth should serve life.”

Does Jordan Peterson actually believe in God?

I am perfectly happy to say that I believe in God, not because I totally know what that means as a kind of intellectual assent (still less proof) to some proposition about the world, but rather because I say it as a kind of existential commitment. This is where I stand. This is how I see the world.
