Notes and Discussions Nietzsche and Aestheticism 1o Alexander Nehamas's Nietzsche: L~fe as Literature' has enjoyed an enthusiastic reception since its publication in 1985 . Reviewed in a wide array of scholarly journals and even in the popular press, the book has won praise nearly everywhere and has already earned for Nehamas--at least in the intellectual community at large--the reputation as the preeminent American Nietzsche scholar. At least two features of the book may help explain this phenomenon. First, Nehamas's Nietzsche is an imaginative synthesis of several important currents in recent Nietzsche commentary, reflecting the influence of writers like Jacques Der- rida, Sarah Kofman, Paul De Man, and Richard Rorty. These authors figure, often by name, throughout Nehamas's book; and it is perhaps Nehamas's most important achievement to have offered a reading of Nietzsche that incorporates the insights of these writers while surpassing them all in the philosophical ingenuity with which this style of interpreting Nietzsche is developed. The high profile that many of these thinkers now enjoy on the intellectual landscape accounts in part for the reception accorded the "Nietzsche" they so deeply influenced.

  • Nietzsche's Jewish Problem: Between Anti-Semitism and Anti-Judaism
    © Copyright, Princeton University Press. No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. CHAPTER ONE The Rise and Fall of Nietzschean Anti- Semitism REACTIONS OF ANTI- SEMITES PRIOR TO 1900 Discussions and remarks about Jews and Judaism can be found throughout Nietzsche’s writings, from the juvenilia and early letters until the very end of his sane existence. But his association with anti-Semitism during his life- time culminates in the latter part of the 1880s, when Theodor Fritsch, the editor of the Anti- Semitic Correspondence, contacted him. Known widely in the twentieth century for his Anti- Semites’ Catechism (1887), which appeared in forty- nine editions by the end of the Second World War, Fritsch wrote to Nietz sche in March 1887, assuming that he harbored similar views toward the Jews, or at least that he was open to recruitment for his cause.1 We will have an opportunity to return to this episode in chapter five, but we should observe that although Fritsch erred in his assumption, from the evidence he and the German public possessed at the time, he had more than sufficient reason to consider Nietzsche a like- minded thinker. First, in 1887 Nietzsche was still associated with Richard Wagner and the large circle of Wagnerians, whose ideology contained obvious anti- Semitic tendencies. Nietzsche’s last published work on Wagner, the deceptive encomium Richard Wagner in Bayreuth (1876), may contain the seeds of Nietzsche’s later criticism of the composer, but when it was published, it was regarded as celebratory and a sign of Nietzsche’s continued allegiance to the Wagnerian cultural move- ment.

  • Traces of Friedrich Nietzsche's Philosophy
    Traces of Friedrich Nietzsche’s Philosophy in Scandinavian Literature Crina LEON* Key-words: Scandinavian literature, Nietzschean philosophy, Georg Brandes, August Strindberg, Knut Hamsun 1. Introduction. The Role of the Danish Critic Georg Brandes The age of Friedrich Nietzsche in Scandinavia came after the age of Émile Zola, to whom Scandinavian writers such as Henrik Ibsen and August Strindberg were indebted with a view to naturalistic ideas and attitudes. Friedrich Nietzsche appears to me the most interesting writer in German literature at the present time. Though little known even in his own country, he is a thinker of a high order, who fully deserves to be studied, discussed, contested and mastered (Brandes 1915: 1). This is what the Danish critic Georg Brandes asserted in his long Essay on Aristocratic Radicalism, which was published in August 1889 in the periodical Tilskueren from Copenhagen, and this is the moment when Nietzsche became to be known not only in Scandinavia but also in other European countries. The Essay on Aristocratic Radicalism was the first study of any length to be devoted, in the whole of Europe, to this man, whose name has since flown round the world and is at this moment one of the most famous among our contemporaries (Ibidem: 59), wrote Brandes ten years later. The term Aristocratic Radicalism had been previously used by the Danish critic in a letter he wrote to Nietzsche himself, from Copenhagen on 26 November 1887: …a new and original spirit breathes to me from your books […] I find much that harmonizes with my own ideas and sympathies, the depreciation of the ascetic ideals and the profound disgust with democratic mediocrity, your aristocratic radicalism […] In spite of your universality you are very German in your mode of thinking and writing (Ibidem: 63).

  • Revolt Against Schopenhauer and Wagner? 177
    Revolt against Schopenhauer and Wagner? 177 Revolt against Schopenhauer and Wagner? An Insight into Nietzsche’s Perspectivist Aesthetics MARGUS VIHALEM The article focuses on the basic assumptions of Nietzschean aesthetics, arguing that Nietzsche’s aesthetics in his later period cannot be thoroughly understood outside of the context of the long-term conflict with romanticist ideals and without considering Arthur Schopenhauer’s and Richard Wagner’s aesthetic and metaphysical positions. Nietzsche’s thinking on art and aesthetics is in fact inseparable from his philosophical standpoint, which complements and renders explicit the hidden meaning of his considerations on art. The article pays particular attention to Nietzsche’s writings on Wagner and Wagnerism and attempts to show that the ideas expressed in these writings form the very basis of Nietzschean aesthetics and, to some extent, had a remarkable impact on his whole philosophy. The article also argues that Nietzsche’s aesthetics may even be regarded, to a certain extent, as the cornerstone of his philosophical project. Only aesthetically can the world be justified. – Friedrich Nietzsche1 I The background: Christianity, romanticism and Schopenhauer Nietzsche undoubtedly stands as one of the most prominent figures of the anti- romanticist philosophy of art in the late nineteenth century, opposing to the ro- manticist vision of the future founded on feebleness the classic vision of the fu- ture based on forcefulness and simple beauty.2 Nietzsche’s influence can be seen extensively in very different realms of twentieth-century philosophical thinking on art, from philosophical aesthetics to particular art procedures and techniques. The specific approach he endorsed concerning matters of art and aesthetics is by 1 F.

  • Nietzsche on Suffering, Affirmation, and Modern Tragedy
    NIETZSCHE ON SUFFERING, AFFIRMATION, AND MODERN TRAGEDY ________________________________________________________________________ A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board ________________________________________________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy ________________________________________________________________________ by Mary Kate Brennan May 2019 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Kristin Gjesdal, Advisory Chair, Philosophy Dr. Susan Feagin, Philosophy Dr. Lara Ostaric, Philosophy Dr. Andrew Huddleston, External Member, Birkbeck, University of London Dr. Paul Kottman, External Member, The New School for Social Research © Copyright 2019 Mary Kate Brennan All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT From the point of view of philosophy of art, tragedy is deeply perplexing: On the one hand, it depicts events that are painful, depressing, and difficult to watch. On the other, it is a genre that has been continually replicated, revered, and even enjoyed since the ancient Greeks. Writers like Aeschylus, Sophocles, Shakespeare, Ibsen, and Beckett hold a place of high regard—they are authors of important works and worthy of our attention. In contemporary aesthetics, this problem is referred to as the paradox of tragedy. This, though, is not a new problem. Instead, philosophers since Aristotle have asked why we, the human species, create, seek out, contemplate, and take pleasure in tragedy. In my dissertation, I examine Nietzsche’s response to this problem in The Birth of Tragedy. His answer is as simple as it is subtle: tragedy is valuable because it allows us to affirm life. In his 1872 work, Nietzsche argues that tragedy was born out of the ancient Greek’s need to affirm life in the face of suffering. However, he is not entirely clear how, exactly, this affirmation is supposed to work.

  • Nietzsche on Art
    Nietzsche on Art Selections from Later Writings In Nietzsche’s later writings we continue to see the theme of the importance of art. Though no longer presented in the terms of The Birth of Tragedy, Nietzsche continues to stress the healing capacity of art through the creation of beautiful illusions without which we could not live (what in The Birth of Tragedy was called the Apollinian art drive). Nietzsche will continue to refer to the Dionysian in many important passages in his very last writings, though what Nietzsche means by the Dionysian here is perhaps best understood not as what he characterized as Dionysian in The Birth of Tragedy but rather as the product of that miraculous coupling of Apollinian and Dionysian drives in the earlier text. In other words, the Dionysian in the later Nietzsche, Edvard Munch, 1906 writings seems to refer to what he regarded as the highest aim of art revealed in Greek tragedy—that transfiguration or metamorphosis in the artist which enables one to affirm life despite its tragic character. Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Nietzsche’s literary-philosophical masterpiece, is introduced (in the preceding work The Gay Science) as a tragedy. As the work does not have the classical form of a tragedy, it seems what Nietzsche must have meant in referring to it as a tragedy is that in it the author sought to achieve what he had identified as the highest aim of tragedy. The main theme of Thus Spoke Zarathustra is Zarathustra’s teaching concerning the overhuman (Übermensch), a teaching which concerns the further evolution or transfiguration of humanity.

  • Nietzsche and the Politics of Hate: How Are They Manifest in the U.S
    NIETZSCHE AND THE POLITICS OF HATE: HOW ARE THEY MANIFEST IN THE U.S. TODAY? A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of The School of Continuing Studies and of The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Liberal Studies By Marilyn Gisk Walker, M.A. Georgetown University Washington, D.C. November 9, 2011 Copyright 2011 by Marilyn Gisk Walker All Rights Reserved ii NIETZSCHE AND THE POLITICS OF HATE: HOW ARE THEY MANIFEST IN THE U.S. TODAY? Marilyn Gisk Walker, M.A. Francis Ambrosio, Ph.D. ABSTRACT The premise of the paper is that there are elements in our society suffering from feelings of ressentiment that cannot be overcome. The feelings stem from a sense that society has failed them and that the Promise of the American Dream has not been fulfilled. Their mentality is powered by a need for revenge, not by a rational belief that different policies will better serve the country. Insofar as an element of society is fueled by this irrational need for revenge, this segment does not seek the good of the country but rather the destruction of the self‐defined “enemy” who has betrayed them. I first explore the concept of ressentiment as characterized by Nietzsche in his historical and philosophical world view – a world view that denies any transcendent purpose or meaning to human existence, a world of indifference and necessity into which we are thrust for a short time. The sufferers from ressentiment cannot accept the reality of an indifferent world that promises them nothing and owes them nothing.

NIETZSCHE ON REALISM IN ART AND THE ROLE OF ILLUSIONS IN LIFE- AFFIRMATION by MARIE KERGUELEN LE BLEVENNEC Under the Direction of Jessica Berry, PhD ABSTRACT In this paper, I investigate Nietzsche’s views about realism in art, and use the resulting textual evidence to explain the connection between realism, health and life-affirmation. First, I show that Nietzsche’s contrasting claims about artists like Flaubert and Stendhal reflect a distinction between two types of realism: the unhealthy realism of Flaubert, and the healthy realism of Stendhal. I then use this understanding of healthy realism in art to argue that for Nietzsche, healthy realism is vital for life-affirmation. Finally, I apply this evidence to a debate between Daniel Came and Bernard Reginster concerning whether Nietzsche thinks life- affirmation requires falsifying reality using illusions, especially artistic illusions, for the purpose of masking life’s terrible truths.
