In this paper, Nietzsche's aesthetics will be showed. Nietzsche's aesthetics is a flash point at the entrance of Nietzsche's philosophy. Nietzsche's aesthetics go through a series of changes, so we must theorize the systematic structure of Nietzsche's aesthetics on the thoughts of maturation. Nietzsche's aesthetics consists of "philosophy of arts" and "theory of beauty", and the philosophy of arts, which is made up of "physiology of arts" and "metaphysics of arts", is the most fundamental part in Nietzsche's aesthetics. The core of Nietzsche's aesthetics is "the will of power". The purpose of Nietzsche's aesthetics is to re-evaluate the value of arts and therefore re-valuate the value of life. The unique of Nietzsche's aesthetics is connecting life with arts, attempting to solve the problem of life with aesthetics, advocating an aesthetic attitude toward life. The aim of Nietzsche is "observe science with the eye of art and observe arts with the eye of life". The tragedy theory of Nietzsche contrary to traditional rationalism, is that tragedy comes from the ever-lasting conflict and antithesis between Spirits of Apollo and Dionysus, which are rooted human nature. Nietzsche also gives a quite new explanation about the role of music, myth etc. in tragedy. The impact of Nietzsche's aesthetics on contemporary is so great that we must give an impersonal fair comment and establish its rational historical position.
