Book Synopsis Plato and Nietzsche by : Mark Anderson
Download or read book Plato and Nietzsche written by Mark Anderson and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2014-08-28 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is commonly known that Nietzsche is one of Plato's primary philosophical antagonists, yet there is no full-length treatment in English of their ideas in dialogue and debate. Plato and Nietzsche is an advanced introduction to these two thinkers, with original insights and arguments interspersed throughout the text. Through a rigorous exploration of their ideas on art, metaphysics, ethics, and the nature of philosophy, and by explaining and analyzing each man's distinctive approach, Mark Anderson demonstrates the many and varied ways they play off against one another. This book provides the background necessary to understanding the principle matters at issue between these two philosophers and to developing an awareness that Nietzsche's engagement with Plato is deeper and more nuanced than it is often presented as being.
Book Synopsis Nietzsche on Art and Life by : Daniel Came
Download or read book Nietzsche on Art and Life written by Daniel Came and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2014-04-24 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nietzsche was not interested in the nature of art as such, or in providing an aesthetic theory of a traditional sort. For he regarded the significance of art to lie not in l'art pour l'art, but in the role that it might play in enabling us positively to 'revalue' the world and human experience. This volume brings together a number of distinguished figures in contemporary Anglo-American Nietzsche scholarship to examine his views on art and the aesthetic in the context of this wider philosophical project. All of the major themes of Nietzsche's aesthetics are discussed: art and the affirmation of life, the relationship between art and truth, music, tragedy, the nature of aesthetic experience, the role of art in Nietzsche's positive ethics, his critique of romanticism, and his ambivalent attitude towards Richard Wagner.

Book Synopsis Nietzsche and the Fate of Art by : Philip Pothen
Download or read book Nietzsche and the Fate of Art written by Philip Pothen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-08-03 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2002. Challenging the accepted orthodoxy on Nietzsche's views on art, this book seeks both to challenge and to establish a new set of concerns as far as discourses on Nietzsche's thoughts on aesthetics are concerned, whilst at the same time using such insights to illuminate more central concerns of Nietzsche scholarship, such as the will to power, the illusion/truth question, the eternal return, the death of God, tragedy, Wagner. Following the development of Nietzsche's thoughts on art from his earliest writings to his last, Pothen counters traditionally accepted interpretations by suggesting a need to recognize the deep suspicion and at times hostility that Nietzsche displays towards art and the artist throughout his text by emphasising the philosophical arguments underlying this deep suspicion, and by viewing this tendency as something deeply connected to the other areas of his thought. Readers with interests in Nietzsche studies, aesthetics, German philosophy, and the philosophy of music, will find this a particularly invaluable and distinctive contribution to Nietzsche scholarship.
Book Synopsis End-of-Art Philosophy in Hegel, Nietzsche and Danto by : Stephen Snyder
Download or read book End-of-Art Philosophy in Hegel, Nietzsche and Danto written by Stephen Snyder and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-04 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the little understood end-of-art theses of Hegel, Nietzsche, and Danto. The end-of-art claim is often associated with the end of a certain standard of taste or skill. However, at a deeper level, it relates to a transformation in how we philosophically understand our relation to the ‘world’. Hegel, Nietzsche, and Danto each strive philosophically to overcome Cartesian dualism, redrawing the traditional lines between mind and matter. Hegel sees the overcoming of the material in the ideal, Nietzsche levels the two worlds into one, and Danto divides the world into representing and non-representing material. These attempts to overcome dualism necessitate notions of the self that differ significantly from traditional accounts; the redrawn boundaries show that art and philosophy grasp essential but different aspects of human existence. Neither perspective, however, fully grasps the duality. The appearance of art’s end occurs when one aspect is given priority: for Hegel and Danto, it is the essentialist lens of philosophy, and, in Nietzsche’s case, the transformative power of artistic creativity. Thus, the book makes the case that the end-of-art claim is avoided if a theory of art links the internal practice of artistic creation to all of art’s historical forms.

Book Synopsis Friedrich Nietzsche and the Artists of the New Weimar by : Sebastian Schütze
Download or read book Friedrich Nietzsche and the Artists of the New Weimar written by Sebastian Schütze and published by 5 Continents Editions. This book was released on 2019 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Around 1900, a small group of influential patrons, critics, writers, and artists turned Weimar, the capital of the small Duchy of Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach in present-day Germany, into a utopian centre of modern art and thought. Artists like Max Klinger, Edvard Munch, and Ludwig von Hofmann, and writers like André Gide, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, and Rainer Maria Rilke sought to create a 'New Weimar and position Friedrich Nietzsche at its head as the radical prophet of modernity. Nietzsche's profound thinking, expressive language, and poignant aphoristic style made him the ideal philosopher of modernism. It is only as an aesthetic phenomenon that existence and the world are eternally justified. With philosophical maxims, such as this from The Birth of Tragedy, Nietzsche became an extraordinary influence on artists and critics in their search for a 'new art,' a 'new man,' and, ultimately, a 'new society.' In 1902, two years after the philosopher's death, Max Klinger was commissioned to carve his portrait for the Villa Silberblick in Weimar, where the cult of Nietzsche was organized. Starting from a heavily reworked death mask, he executed the famous marble herm that still today adorns the reception room of the Nietzsche Archive. Only three monumental bronze versions were cast, one of which is now in the collection of the National Gallery of Canada. With this sculpture in focus, accompanied by a series of paintings, drawings, plaster casts, and small bronzes, 'Radical Modernism' will show how Klinger and his patrons invented the 'official' Nietzsche, transforming a highly expressionist portrait into an idealized classical cult image."--publisher.

Book Synopsis Nietzsche, Henry James, and the Artistic Will by : Stephen Donadio
Download or read book Nietzsche, Henry James, and the Artistic Will written by Stephen Donadio and published by New York : Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1978 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This pioneering contribution to the history of modern ideas connects two commanding figures ordinarily considered worlds apart. Observing that philosophy and fiction are two activities which have 'always sustained and offered criticisms of one another,' Stephen Donadio sets out to explore the continuities of thought and feeling which link Nietzsche, a European philosopher whose work often appears to reflect a feverish attraction to extremity, and James, an American novelist commonly identified with decorous assertions of magisterial detachment. Moving beyond the boundaries of isolated literary and philosophical investigation, this wide-ranging study represents a breakthrough in our understanding of the relations between the phenomenon of modernism and the settled presuppositions of American imaginative life. Donadio points out the correspondences between the Nietzschean conception of the superman and more immediately familiar assumptions regarding American identity. In addition, he provides a compelling account of that moment in cultural history at the turn of the century which produced a radical new view of the relationship of art to life. Donadio shows that James and Nietzsche shared an intense belief in the power of art as the only activity capable of raising experience from insignificance. For both of them, it was an activity requiring an unrelenting imposition of the will on the facts of experience, and they were accordingly joined in their resistance to the two dominant tendencies of the literature of their time... naturalism and 'art for art's sake.' Perhaps most significantly, they shared an abiding sense of kinship with Emerson, whom Nietzsche named as 'the author as yet the richest in ideas in this century.' -- Publisher description.
Book Synopsis The Art of Philosophy by : Peter Sloterdijk
Download or read book The Art of Philosophy written by Peter Sloterdijk and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2012-10-02 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his best-selling book You Must Change Your Life, Peter Sloterdijk argued exercise and practice were crucial to the human condition. In The Art of Philosophy, he extends this critique to academic science and scholarship, casting the training processes of academic study as key to the production of sophisticated thought. Infused with humor and provocative insight, The Art of Philosophy further integrates philosophy and human existence, richly detailing the foundations of this relationship and its transformative role in making the postmodern self. Sloterdijk begins with Plato's description of Socrates, whose internal monologues were so absorbing they often rooted the philosopher in place. The original academy, Sloterdijk argues, taught scholars to lose themselves in thought, and today's universities continue this tradition by offering scope for Plato's "accommodations for absences." By training scholars to practice thinking as an occupation transcending daily time and space, universities create the environment in which thought makes wisdom possible. Traversing the history of asceticism, the concept of suspended animation, and the theory of the neutral observer, Sloterdijk traces the evolution of philosophical practice from ancient times to today, showing how scholars can remain true to the tradition of "the examined life" even when the temporal dimension no longer corresponds to the eternal. Building on the work of Husserl, Heidegger, Nietzsche, Arendt, and other practitioners of the life of theory, Sloterdijk launches a posthumanist defense of philosophical inquiry and its everyday, therapeutic value.
Book Synopsis Nietzsche as Philosopher by : Arthur C. Danto
Download or read book Nietzsche as Philosopher written by Arthur C. Danto and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 1965 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few philosophers are as widely read or as widely misunderstood as Friedrich Nietzsche. When Danto's classic study was first published in 1965, many regarded Nietzsche as a brilliant but somewhat erratic thinker. Danto, however, presented a radically different picture, arguing that Nietzsche offered a systematic and coherent philosophy that anticipated many of the questions that define contemporary philosophy. Danto's clear and insightful commentaries helped canonize Nietzsche as a philosopher and continue to illuminate subtleties in Nietzsche's work as well as his immense contributions to the philosophies of science, language, and logic. This new edition, which includes five additional essays, not only further enhances our understanding of Nietzsche's philosophy; it responds to the misunderstandings that continue to muddy his intellectual reputation. Even today, Nietzsche is seen as everything from a precursor of feminism and deconstruction to a prophetic writer and spokesperson for disgruntled teenage boys. As Danto points out in his preface, Nietzsche's writings have purportedly inspired recent acts of violence and school shootings. Danto counters these misreadings by elaborating an anti-Nietzschian philosophy from within Nietzsche's own philosophy "in the hope of disarming the rabid Nietzsche and neutralizing the vivid frightening images that have inspired sociopaths for over a century." The essays also consider specific works by Nietzsche, including Human, All Too Human and The Genealogy of Morals, as well as the philosopher's artistic metaphysics and semantical nihilism.
Book Synopsis Heidegger's Philosophy of Art by : Julian Young
Download or read book Heidegger's Philosophy of Art written by Julian Young and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2001-01-25 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, the first comprehensive study in English of Heidegger's philosophy of art, starts in the mid-1930s with Heidegger's discussion of the Greek temple and his Hegelian declaration that a great artwork gathers together an entire culture in affirmative celebration of its foundational 'truth', and that, by this criterion, art in modernity is 'dead'. His subsequent work on Hölderlin, whom he later identified as the decisive influence on his mature philosophy, led him into a passionate engagement with the art of Rilke, Cézanne, Klee and Zen Buddhism, liberating him not only from the overly restrictive conception of art of the mid-1930s but also from the disastrous politics of the period. Drawing on material hitherto unknown in the anglophone world, Young establishes a new account of Heidegger's philosophy of art and shows that his famous essay 'The Origin of the Work of Art' is its beginning, not its end.
