Nietzsche and the Aesthetic
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-032-03471-7 (ISBN)
This Brief focuses on Nietzsche s aesthetics not merely as an artistic field but as a way of understanding life itself. Unlike his predecessors, Nietzsche rather saw aesthetics as a fundamental principle aim of human existence. This volume demonstrates how Nietzsche s aesthetic thinking is not simply an analysis of art but rather a comprehensive worldview shaping his approach to morality, truth, and the meaning of life. It traces the development of aesthetics beginning with Nietzsche s first major work, The Birth of Tragedy. Machter appeals to the "death of God," one of Nietzsche s central claims, as not just a theological statement but a cultural-aesthetic one; and also reflects on the Overman as a response to nihilism. This volume appeals to students and researchers and presents Nietzsche s aesthetics as not an escape into the world of art but rather a call for individuals toward a meaningful life.
Dr. Machter is a researcher and senior lecturer at the School of Design & Department of Philosophy at the University of Haifa. He has published several books in the fields of visual culture theory, the philosophy of aesthetics, and aesthetic education.
