We will have achieved much for the study of aesthetics when we come not merely to a logical understanding but also to the immediately certain apprehension of the fact that the further development of art is bound up with the duality of the Apollonian and the Dionysian just as reproduction depends upon the duality of the sexes their continuing strife and only periodically occurring reconciliation. We take these names from the Greeks who gave a clear voice to the profound secret teachings of their contemplative art not in ideas but in the powerfully clear forms of their divine world.Here is Nietzsche's brilliant essay on the importance of music and art in every day life.
A propos de l'auteur
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was a German philosopher, classical scholar, and cultural critic, known for his profound influence on modern thought. Born on October 15, 1844, in R cken, Germany, Nietzsche initially pursued a career as a classical philologist before transitioning to philosophy. His works challenged traditional beliefs, and his critiques of culture, religion, and morality made him one of the most influential philosophers of the 19th century. Nietzsche's writings explored complex concepts such as the "will to power," the " bermensch," and the idea of the eternal recurrence. His works, including "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" and "Beyond Good and Evil," questioned the foundations of Western philosophy and introduced ideas that would later shape existentialism and postmodernism. Nietzsche s intellectual journey was influenced by figures like Arthur Schopenhauer and Fyodor Dostoevsky. He faced personal struggles throughout his life, including mental illness, which led to his decline in health. He passed away on August 25, 1900, in Weimar, Germany, at the age of 55. Nietzsche s parents were Carl Ludwig Nietzsche and Franziska Oehler, and he had a brother, Ludwig Joseph Nietzsche, and a sister, Elisabeth F rster-Nietzsche. His groundbreaking ideas continue to resonate in contemporary philosophy and culture.
