Nietzsche achievement in the aesthetics was using it to solve the problem in the living, rather than studying the aesthetics theory. The thesis mainly discussed a problem that how the man can get a perfect existence. One's encounter and environment in his life was the most concerned thing to the writer. Nietzsche, as an important thinker on the aesthetic history turning point, devoted himself to the work of considering the way to the better existence probability.The first part of the thesis mainly analyzed five kinds of nihilists. Nietzsche discovered a kind of weighty character in all things on the earth: force. Everything on the earth was the result of the force movement formation. Approximately, the force may be divided into two kinds: the positive one and the negative one. Both of them acted each other, so the positive quality and the negative quality arised in cycle. The course was endless. On this infinite loop link, the writer cut out one part that development from the negative force to the positive one.To nihilist, such as the metaphysician, Christian, fake philosopher, new doctrine person, authority and so on, Nietzsche taunted and repudiated them thoroughly. They were against the phenomenon and the colorful, pluralistic, developing thing. They also denied the body was useful in holding the world. Beside, they denied the man's instinct and his energetic, Constructive, exceeding volition. They stood for the most decayed and reactionary being.The second part analyzed the other two kinds of nihilists. To them, the last man and the man leaning towards death, Nietzsche criticized them carefully, partly. They stood for two forms on the nihilism final stage. The former denied all value completely, as a result, obtained whole reality, yet his absolute 'deny' was also a fault, which prohibited the force from transformating to the positive one. This was the last hoop on the nihilism chain. Contrasted with the former, the man leaning towards death was advanced. His negation was a holy one, implying the quality of positive. Just take a further step, we would find the type of super man. So he was the beginning of positiveforce.In order to deepen the conclusion, the third part went back to the original work of Nietzsche's and sought for help from it. About the also sprach zarathustra, the writer took the literature style reading, and paid special attention to the significant imagery. In the work, the tale of three transformation was the section touching the point.The spirit's three deformation was a metaphor, it illustrated vivaciously that how the spirit had underwent the nihilism period step by step and arrived at the positive stage at last. The camel, the lion, the body were three important imagery. The first one was a negative being, the last one was a positive being and the middle one was on the turning point of from the negative stage to the positive stage. In fact, the baby was the super man, He meant the new beginning. He was living freely.The last part of the thesis mainly discussed the living mode of the superman. He is full of strength and had power will. This was a perfect living mode.The writer only wanted to find an existence mode. Living in this way, the contemporary people in the dark hopeless could found the method of optimizing the living. Nietzsche's aesthetic idea had found the model: superman.
