Nietzsche, Aesthetics and Modernity

More about the book

The book delves into Nietzsche's engagement with the aesthetic tradition, particularly his interactions with Kant and Hegel. It emphasizes the importance of negation and sublimity in his artistic philosophy, positioning his ideas as a response to modern nihilism. By examining Nietzsche's extensive writings and his critiques of various cultural figures, the text reveals how he challenges contemporary culture through a dialectical approach to aesthetics. This exploration connects Nietzsche's thoughts to the negative dialectics of Theodor Adorno, enriching the discourse on art and modernity.
