The authors uncover the continuing influence of Weimar classicism at the very heart of Nietzsche's aesthetic theory, which in turn became the cornerstone of his epistemological and moral concerns. The book takes as its starting point the view that 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra' has a single, coherent message that it identifies with what Goethe called 'the gospel of beauty.' A hitherto unappreciated unity of plot, style, and argument is thus revealed in both 'Zarathustra' and Nietzsche's philosophical 'oeuvre' as a whole, showing how he participates in a 'perennial aesthetic.' In this connection Nietzsche's statement in 'The Gay Science' is revealing: 'I want to learn more and more to see what is necessary in things as what is beautiful ? then I shall be one of those who make things beautiful.' The book provides an overview of related scholarly literature; discusses Nietzsche's aesthetic theory in 'The Birth of Tragedy'; recounts the composition of 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra' and offers an interpretation of its 'aesthetic gospel'; a concluding chapter explores historical continuities in aesthetic theory. By demonstrating the constitutive function of the aesthetics of Weimar classicism in his philosophy, this book opens up a fresh and original perspective on Nietzsche. Paul Bishop is Professor of German, and R. H. Stephenson is William Jacks Professor of German Language and Literature, both at the University of Glasgow. 410 0$aStudies in German literature, linguistics, and culture (Unnumbered) 517 3 $aFriedrich Nietzsche & Weimar Classicism 606 $aAesthetics, Modern$y19th century 606 $aGerman literature$y18th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aClassicism$zGermany$zWeimar (Thuringia)$xHistory$y18th century 615 0$aAesthetics, Modern 615 0$aGerman literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aClassicism$xHistory 676 $a193 686 $aCG 5917$qBSZ$2rvk 700 $aBishop$b Paul$f1967-$0918080 702 $aStephenson$b R.
