The Duet Of Rapture

Rapture, as the corn of Nietzsche's Physiology of Art, is the duet of physiology and psychology, 1ts basis is the Will to Power, so it distinguishes itself from the other styles of rapture in western history, the root of the latter is the world composed by the duel elements, body and soul.Rapture, as the expression of the state of Dionysian, is the duet of pain and intoxication, it is ignited with the affirmation of the spirit of Dionysian, so it is different from the ancient Chinese poetists' rapture, the latter is the opponent of Dionysus.Rapture appeared at Nietzsche's works, from the begining work to the maturation of Nietzsche's atsthetics, but it has different meaning in different period. At the early works, rapture as the state of Dionysus is the opponent of dream which is the state of Apollo, while later, the Dionysian and the Apollonian are two kinds of rapture. The Apollonian is idealization, relating to form -engerdering. It is the element of rapture as form-enlgendring force, representing slow tempo of force motion, that is repose, so rapture is the duet of the Dionysian and the Apollonian, in other words, repose and excitment.
