Only he who could consider the whole world as semblance would be in a position to look at it without desire or drive. Now, however, our honesty has a counterforce, which helps us avoid such consequences: art, in the sense of the good will to semblance [den guten Willen zum Scheine]… . The Development of German Aesthetic Theory From Kant to Schiller a Philosophical Commentary on Schiller's "Aesthetic Education of Man". More recently, Janaway (2013, 265–67; 2014), Ridley (2007, 122–28), and Young (1992, 138–40) all maintain that an unresolved conflict is present. Some of the first commentaries on Schiller’s philosophy were also produced during the latter half of the century (Fischer 1858; Ueberweg 1884). It is inextricably linked now with Beethoven's Ninth Symphony and its distinctive "Freude" melody, but it's a fairly straightforward poem, and on its own it endeavors to create a feeling of, and appreciation for, the emotion of joy in the reader. (Attempt at Self-Criticism, 1886) Dionysian craving for beauty. Nietzsche's Die Geburt der Tragodie and Schiller's Asthetische Briefe are two texts that make a vital contribution to the history of aesthetic and cultural theory. That Nietzsche accepts the honesty and autonomy of aesthetic appreciation would not yet imply that he follows Schiller in concluding that such appreciation must involve disinterested enjoyment of the pure form of the work. Nietzsche might well have said, echoing Plato, “a lie is really useless to the strong, but useful to the weak as a form of a drug.”36 There is one crucial point, however, on which their disagreement is genuine: whether the fact that illusion is necessary for life must be viewed as a symptom of life’s irredeemable wretchedness—and so requires an consolatory metaphysical tale about a realm of forms—or whether it can be recognized and affirmed in its own right. The Concept of Aesthetic Semblance in Nietzsche, Receive exclusive offers and updates from Oxford Academic.

For, as we have seen, Nietzsche does not believe that illusions are necessarily deceptive. Art is opposed to the ascetic ideal because it places value on semblance, while the ascetic ideal condemns semblance. Even if this is so, an actual positive attitude towards the conditions of life will presumably be necessary if the relevant counterfactual is to hold. Schiller's "Ode to Joy" is a fairly thorough examination of the emotion of joy, its origins and its purposes. On the one hand, it has diverted attention from the fact that he is interested in falsehood in a much more capacious sense—his interests are often, if not primarily, in the notions of semblance and illusion, the fake, or the inauthentic. Nietzsche's Die Geburt der Tragodie and Schiller's Asthetische Briefe are two texts that make a vital contribution to the history of aesthetic and cultural theory. Nietzsche consistently valorizes artistic falsehoods. Art, as he believed Plato must have sensed, might help us discover precisely that. Nietzsche and Schiller on Aesthetic Semblance. An individual user may print out a PDF of a single chapter of a monograph in OSO for personal use. Friedrich Schiller was born on 10 November 1759, in Marbach, Württemberg, as the only son of military doctor Johann Kaspar Schiller [de] (1733–1796) and Elisabeth Dorothea Kodweiß [de] (1732–1802). The interpretation in this paper, however, differs markedly from theirs. What Nietzsche sought to achieve in his condemnation of Christianity could easily have applied to all religious/spiritual beliefs including witchcraft and devil worship, and as such, Nietzsche can only ever be a de-construct of: “The Patrons of The Synagogue.” Nietzsche’s early notes and writings display a clear and significant debt to Schiller.20 This impact is most evident in his conception of so-called Apollonian art. Since Ridley’s “minimal falsification” is restricted to just those conditions, it applies precisely to that about which Nietzsche insists honesty is most needed. Elsewhere, he says amor fati involves “the understanding of the hitherto negated aspects of existence not only as necessary but as desirable” (NF 1888:16[32]), and that it requires us to “learn to see what is necessary in things as what is beautiful about them [das Nothwendige an den Dingen als das Schöne sehen]” (GS 276). In light of this tension, it is necessary to reconsider both Nietzsche’s conception of artistic falsity and his reasons for commending it. Nietzsche is ultimately unconcerned with good and evil since he feels those are transitory terms meant to describe how a culture views actions at a certain point in time. Photograph from the series „Der kranke Nietzsche“ ("The ill Nietzsche") by Hans Olde, between June and August 1899. The link was not copied. The divine and the human meet in this description. Schiller, The most prominent owner of a writing ball was probably the German philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900). Seriously ill, half-blind, in virtually unrelenting pain, he lived in boarding houses in Switzerland, the French Riviera, and Italy, with only limited human contact. In his autobiography Steiner describes a significant meeting: “One day Nietzsche's sister, Elizabeth Foerster-Nietzsche, visited the Goethe-Schiller Archives. Reginster (2014, 18) suggests some ways of potentially resolving the tension. According to a letter to his mother and sister, which Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) sent from Schulpforta in March 1863, there was a ‘ball’, on which occasion the older schoolboys played quite well, but his class didn’t. Friedrich Nietzsche - Friedrich Nietzsche - Decade of isolation and creativity (1879–89): Apart from the books Nietzsche wrote between 1879 and 1889, it is doubtful that his life held any intrinsic interest. This book, the first to attempt a thorough comparison of Nietzsche's and Schiller's thought, examines their programmes to reform the individual through aesthetic experience, with reference primarily to Nietzsche's Die Geburt der Tragodie and Schiller's Asthetische Briefe. Nietzsche’s opposition to the putative naturalism of Euripidean drama is intimately connected with the claim that it lacks “the affectless coolness of the true actor, who … is entirely semblance and pleasure in semblance,” instead seeking to produce “fiery affects” (BT 12). In 1881, when he was almost blind, Nietzsche wanted to buy a typewriter to enable him to continue his writing, and from letters to his sister we know that he personally was in contact with “the inventor of the typewriter, Mr Malling-Hansen from Copenhagen”. The crucial idea behind the Autonomy Condition is the standard modernist point that genuinely aesthetic judgments concern the work of art qua art; they treat the work of art “autonomously,” or for its own sake. The resultant Nietzschean concept of the na?ve or natural is a crucial?and critically underappreci This paper began by suggesting that Nietzsche’s defense of art is best read as a direct response to Plato’s challenge to imitation in Republic Χ. According to Schiller beauty is perception of freedom in the object world Seems there is no true spiritual depth within him beyond the rational/formal, as he places a tripartite schema, in which first is the physical, which is transcended by the aesthetic and the aesthetic is transcended into the rational. In particular, the paper focuses on Nietzsche’s debt to Friedrich Schiller’s5 influential theory of “aesthetic semblance.”6 Prior to Nietzsche, it was above all Schiller who aimed to accord artistic illusions a distinctive kind of value, thus securing them from the Platonic challenge. Friedrich Nietzsche was a famous 19th century German philosopher and philologist, known for his critical texts on religion, morality, contemporary culture, philosophy, and science. Instead, he argues it is better for someone to try to take control of his or her life rather than submit to what other institutions say is right or wrong. In Human, All-too-Human, he contrasts a vulgar attitude towards the arts, which takes pleasure chiefly in emotional engagement with the content, matter, or plot, with an “aesthetic attitude” that takes pleasure in form, or the manner of treating the content, and which is usually enjoyed only by artists themselves (HH I.166, 167). This work examines Nietzsche's The Birth of Tragedy by looking at both the progression of ideas on tragedy up to Nietzsche and ideas with which Nietzsche was familiar. Nietzsche’s introductory observation is that: The term ‘Apollonian’ ranges over the visual arts, as well as epic poetry and, to a significant extent, tragedy. For works not included in KSA, I have referred to Nietzsche (1967–), the Gesamtausgabe edited by Colli and Montinari (KGW). Nietzsche enrolled at Schulpfortain 1858 at the age of fourteen. Pure consideration without desire is only possible with respect to the semblance that is recognized as semblance … and to this extent does not stir our will at all. This love enabled us to endur… They also had five daughters, including Christophine, the eldest.

In particular, the proposal is that art “falsify” only those aspects of things that cannot be changed or removed, and with which we otherwise could not live (2007, 130–33). She was about to take the first step toward forming the Nietzsche Archives, and wanted to know how the Goethe-Schiller Archives were managed. When Schiller characterizes autonomous semblance as that which does not require “reality in order to have its effect” (AE 26/NA 20:402), he is thus using ‘reality’ in a technical sense connoting ‘matter’ or ‘content’. Friedrich Nietzsche - Friedrich Nietzsche - Decade of isolation and creativity (1879–89): Apart from the books Nietzsche wrote between 1879 and 1889, it is doubtful that his life held any intrinsic interest. The will to truth is (an instance of) the ascetic ideal. At the same time, it has revealed a perhaps surprising affinity between Nietzsche and Plato on the issue of the value of truth. It has also generated praise and critique in more contemporary theorizing. Cf. But this suggestion, when examined carefully, still fails to resolve the dilemma. For Nietzsche this is a crises of nihilism, while for Schiller is a struggle for freedom. For P2 garners support from texts such as GS 107, in which Nietzsche claims that “delusion and error” are conditions of cognition, and so may seem to commit him to the notorious ‘falsification thesis’.31 A sustained discussion of these complex issues is beyond the scope of the present paper. This latter point is explicit in the idea that “the lie sanctifies itself” in art. Original at Goethe- und Schiller-Archiv Weimar, signature GSA 101/37. (GS 107, emphasis added). Nietzsche can follow Schiller in maintaining that such autonomous appreciation does not depend on an interest in the object represented, while still maintaining that it produces an interest in something else about the work, viz., its quality as semblance. He proposes an interpretation according to which art ought to represent things as accurately and “falsify them as little as possible” (2007, 80). This is the first comparative study of Nietzsche's Birth of Tragedy and Schiller's Aesthetic Letters, two crucial texts in aesthetic and cultural theory. This reading conflicts, however, with Nietzsche’s insistence that life affirmation requires untrammeled honesty. It is therefore no surprise that, following his break with Wagner, Nietzsche’s early formalism becomes only more austere. His criticisms of the “Slave Morality” he credits the Jewish people with inventing can seem like an anti-Semitic rant from time to time. Memories, Music, Images, Stories and Texts. These two conclusions reveal that Nietzsche’s valorization of artistic falsity is not rooted in the claim that art produces deceptive yet ameliorative distortions, and so is compatible with his demand that such distortion play no role in genuine affirmation. Strictly speaking, Nietzsche may only need to maintain that genuine affirmation requires that one’s affirmative attitude possess a certain counterfactual robustness across possible worlds in which one does have such knowledge. Before turning directly to an examination of Nietzsche’s views on artistic falsity and their historical antecedents, it will be important to draw a basic distinction between two ways in which art may be considered “false.” First, we may say that a work of art is false if it distorts its object. Friedrich Nietzsche, German classical scholar, philosopher, and critic of culture, who became one of the most influential of all modern thinkers. Friedrich Schiller. Nietzsche then presents the following view of art: Do not come to me with science when I am looking for the natural antagonist of the ascetic ideal, when I ask: ‘where is the opposing will, in which its opposing ideal expresses itself?’… . AE 10/NA 20:338, AE 15/NA 20:356. Attending to such purely formal or technical qualities, Nietzsche insists, is essential for appreciating the work of art “as art” (HH I.179). On standard interpretations, this is because art provides deceptive yet salutary fictions that help us affirm life. According to Schiller, two conditions determine a semblance as distinctively aesthetic: (i) it must be honest, or “renounce claims to reality,” and (ii) it must be autonomous, or not “take support from reality” (AE 26/NA 20:402).13 Call these the ‘Honesty Condition’ and the ‘Autonomy Condition’ respectively. The ascetic will to truth condemns, as we have seen, illusion qua necessary condition of life. Nietzsche did not simply adopt Schiller's notion without modification. Schiller’s terminology follows Kant’s (1900–, 5:291). The same can also be seen in his quotes that touch all the aforementioned genres and give readers a new perspective from which to look at. Nietzsche’s earliest remarks on Schiller are thoroughly unexceptional and wholly in tune with the high-minded eulogies which accompanied the Schiller centenary celebrations in November 1859, when Nietzsche was fifteen. The four hundred year-old school was long the standard of humane education in Germany. The unconditional condemnation of illusion is the will to truth. Others have ignored or overlooked the tension (Soll 1998, 102–106). Quotes from Friedrich Schiller about being happy This is significant because the essay really unfolds as a criticism and assimilation of Schiller and Burckhardt–or more properly, as a very skilled application of their insights to the forces that Nietzsche understood to be afoot in the heart of Europe. His body was buried in the family gravesite at the church in Röcken bei Lützen. Note further that this fact cannot be concealed, given the fact that the will to truth is committed to the untrammeled acquisition of knowledge—indeed, it is the will to truth itself that has revealed this fact (GS 107). In order to exploit the burgeoning Nietzsche cult more effectively, she eventually moved her brother to Weimar—the city of Goethe and Schiller—and set about controlling access to his papers, forging letters, and publishing contrived books from miscellaneous notes. BGE 3, 34). First, aesthetic appreciation concerns the purely formal features of a work of art (AE 26/NA 20:400–401). The present interpretation avoids these pitfalls. Moreover, Ridley’s interpretation leads him to claim art itself should be in service of the will to truth “regardless of its roots in Christianity” (2007, 117). Call this ‘representational falsehood’. P2. Even then Nietzs… Nietzsche holds that there are some false judgments that are potentially beneficial for those holding them, or, conversely, that there are some true judgments that are potentially deleterious for those holding them. For if Nietzsche is committed to the claim that art ought to falsify, yet insists that genuine affirmation must involve no such falsification, there will be a direct conflict which may perhaps be mitigated but not ultimately resolved. In this book, we shall argue that the missing perspective, to use one of Nietzsche’s favorite terms, is that of Weimar Classicism. cultural theory, In fact, it is even possible that such endemic illusions could play a crucial role in reliably and accurately tracking certain features of objective reality. Nietzsche argued that Greek civilisation had been misjudged by Winckelmann, Goethe and Schiller, and that a new understanding had since supervened, one that acknowledged the function of Greek religion in presenting and appeasing the irrational aspects of the human psyche. Friedrich Nietzsche was a famous 19th century German philosopher and philologist, known for his critical texts on religion, morality, contemporary culture, philosophy, and science. These characterizations suggest that one achieves this ideal just in case the following is satisfied: Full and Honest Affirmation: For every aspect of existence, if that aspect is a necessary condition of life, then the agent (1) does not conceal it, (2) endures it, and (3) sees it as desirable or beautiful. Those who view Nietzsche as committed to the falsification thesis for at least much of his career include Jaspers (1981, 170–234); Heidegger (1961, 1:555–64); Danto (2005, 54–81); Wilcox (1974, 155–70); Schacht (1983, 52–117); Anderson (2002; 2005); Clark (1990, 63–126); and Leiter (2002, 13–21). >In his essay, “On Truth and Lying in a Non-Moral Sense,” Nietzsche paints a picture of humanity “deeply immersed in illusions and dream-images” (Norton Anthology of Theory and Criticism, 2nd Edition, 765).He calls into question language’s capacity to relate truths. None of this is to say that aesthetic semblance is not in tension with the ascetic ideal. On the sense of mimēsis at work in Republic X, see Nehamas (1982, 1988). In order to exploit the burgeoning Nietzsche cult more effectively, she eventually moved her brother to Weimar—the city of Goethe and Schiller—and set about controlling access to his papers, forging letters, and publishing contrived books from miscellaneous notes. The term ‘Apollonian’ ranges over the visual arts, as well as epic poetry and, to a significant extent, tragedy. The ascetic ideal condemns illusion unconditionally. This corollary follows from the first in conjunction with the Kantian premise that a thing stands in some possible relation to our ends, and so is “interesting,” only in virtue of its matter, never its mere form.15. For, as we have seen, Nietzsche always remained a staunch and committed advocate of intellectual honesty. Given the foregoing discussion, the famous passage from GM III.25, in which Nietzsche lays out in nuce his mature conception of the value of artistic illusion, should now appear in a new light. An art for artists” (GS P4). Schiller clearly alludes to Plato’s banishment of the poets from the ideal republic at AE 10/NA 20:337, though his more direct target is perhaps Rousseau, whose own criticism of art is significantly indebted to Plato’s (AE 26/NA 20:403, AE 5/NA 20:320, AE 10/NA 20:338–39). According to a now-standard reading, the view follows from his thesis that it is often useful to hold false beliefs (BGE 4), together with the contention that art engenders precisely such beliefs. Thus, by appreciating semblance as such in a work of art, we pay attention just to that in virtue of which it seems to be what it imitates, namely, the form the artist has imposed on it.

This work makes a comparative study of the texts, bringing a mutually illuminating perspective to bear on them. Note that a work can be mimetically false without being representationally false. The Genealogy’s discussion of the opposition between art and the will to truth is prefigured in a famous section in Book II of The Gay Science, which strongly supports the present reading: Had we not called the arts good, and invented this cult of the untrue, the insight into the universal untruth and mendacity, which is now given to us by the sciences—the insight into delusion and error as a condition of cognizing and sensing existence—would be completely intolerable. For a somewhat more complex account, see Anderson (2006). We shall now see that subsequent works also retain the basic contours of the theory of aesthetic semblance. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the The Hegeler Institute 2019. Observing a subtle yet important reinterpretation of the Autonomy Condition, which Nietzsche once thought entailed the disinterestedness of aesthetic pleasure, will pave the way for a consistent reading of his mature aesthetic position that solves the motivating problem of this essay. Beginning while Nietzsche was still alive, though incapacitated by mental illness, many Germans discovered his appeals for greater heroic individualism and personality development in Thus Spoke Zarathustra, but responded to those appeals in diverging ways.He had some following among left-wing Germans in the 1890s. The conception of affirmation here is extremely demanding, requiring us to honestly love life exactly as it is, without subtraction or alteration (EH “Clever,” 10). Keywords: P3. Schiller’s adherence to the imitative conception of art allows him to infer immediately that such judgments concern the work of art qua semblance; they involve explicit pleasure in the fact that the work of art is an illusion. God loved us (1 John 4:19) and saw us, down to our sinful foundations (Hebrews 4:13), yet his love persisted. The subsided library Friedrich Nietzsches is digitized and researched in the Duchess Anna Amalia Library. And even if one insists on reading Täuschung here as connoting ‘deception’, the fact that something exemplifies a will to deception is not necessarily to say that it is deceptive. “We all,” declares St. Paul, “with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another” (2 Corinthians 3:18). Copy this link, or click below to email it to a friend. Embracing those same two disciplines himself, Nietzsche’s first extensive historiographical project covered the saga of the fourth century Ostrogoth King Ermanarich (KGW I/2, 274-284). Such ‘evaluative reorientation,’ as I shall call it, will emerge as not merely consistent with, but integral to, achieving Nietzsche’s ideal of honesty. Cf. Nietzsche’s “liar” is only lying insomuch as he is subverting the agreed-upon naming system of… That truthfulness of this kind is the highest possible achievement does not imply that its value is nondefeasible; there are those—whom Nietzsche varyingly derides as the “cowardly,” the “weak,” the intellectually “unclean”—for whom this tremendously demanding ideal is simply out of reach, and he is happy to admit that straightforward deception is perhaps the best they can hope for. semblance itself. Nietzsche had a brilliant school and university career,culminating in May 1869 when he was called to a chair in classicalphilology at Basel. C1. Nietzsche, Later sections also emphasize that the aesthetic appreciation of semblance should be autonomous. For Nietzsche maintains that the highest possible achievement for a human being is a rigorously honest affirmation of the world and life tout court. Taking this approach, however, risks confusing aspects of the Nietzsche legend with what is important in his philosophical work, and many commentators are rightly skeptical of readings derived pri… Instead, “the vulgar charm of illusion [Illusion] should give way to a higher charm,” and he insists that the Greek tragedians explicitly contrived to avoid “overpowering the spectator through affects” (GS 80). The four key aspects of their aesthetic theories are compared: the diagnoses of cultural crisis; the historical framework of each theory; the catalytic function of the Greek experience in both theories; and the metaphysical and psychological underpinnings by which the theories stand or fall. On standard interpretations, this is because art provides deceptive yet salutary fictions that help us affirm life. If what I have argued is correct, a crucial part of his reason for this view is that art reorients our valuation of illusion. Who was Friedrich Nietzsche? This is the first comprehensive study of Nietzsche's earliest (and extraordinary) book, The Birth of Tragedy (1872). In the surrounding context of this passage, Nietzsche is arguing that the “unconditional will to truth,” under the guise of modern science, is really a clandestine expression of the Christian ascetic ideal (on which more in the following section). Prolegomena zu jeder künftigen Ethik. Nietzsche, it is alleged, advocates a kind of aesthetic whitewashing of the world: art presents us with a sort of simulacrum of life, purged of those properties that might support a less than positive estimate of its value.2 So construed, however, Nietzsche’s position appears deeply unstable.
