On The Change Of Nietzsche Artistic Values

Nietzsche is one of the most influential and big thinkers of human history of thought, and he influences literature realm particularly profoundly. Undoubtedly, Nietzsche's view of artistical value is one of Nietzsche's important thoughts, which affect literature realm. This text intends to research Nietzsche's view of artistical value from following four parts.The first part studies the ex-period of Nietzsche's view of artistical value. This text thinks the ex-period of Nietzsche's view of artistical value is constituted by following three aspects: First, the essence of art is consistent with "the essence of being", and the art activity is the true activity of life; Second, "art life" is most superior life that mankind may attain; Third, only art can control human impulse of longing for knowledge, and rebuilds "great culture".The second part investigates the inside period of Nietzsche's view of artistical value. In inside period, Nietzsche thoroughly negates the ex-period view of artistical value with getting away from Schopenhauer's thought of metaphysics, and thinks the art does sober and independent life harm. Nietzsche is sure that science will replace art.The third part discusses the later period of Nietzsche's view of artistical value. This part will research four important problems which Nietzsche ponders on: First, the art can stir up the feeling of life; Second, the creative spirit of art may resist extra drastically nihilism; Third, the spirit of art is incomparably superior to the spirit of science; Fourth, the art has more value than metaphysics ,because the art appreciates sensitive life, but metaphysics negates sensitive life.The fourth part reviews this text, and points out Nietzsche praises art whole life, which is one part of German romantic thought tradition; Nietzsche's thoroughly estheticism and art Utopiahides dangerous tendency of anti-civilization, but, Nietzsche's view of artistical value also reminds people the problem of art never is pure aesthetic problem, it is closely related with many important problems such as living meaning, human life ideal.
