Aesthetics: aesthetics is generally the doctrine of perception in the philosophical tradition. In the narrower sense it is the investigation of the question of why we find certain things beautiful or ugly. Here, historical changes as well as cultural differences are taken into account. In modernity, the question of the enlightenment effect and the social power of works of art has also become relevant. See also art, works of art, beauty, perception, society, autonomy, recognition.

Friedrich Nietzsche on Aesthetics - Dictionary of Arguments

Aesthetics/Art/The birth of tragedy from the spirit of music/Nietzsche: "... only as an aesthetic phenomenon existence and the world is eternally justified" (Vs moral interpretation).
>Being/Nietzsche

Aesthetics/Nietzsche/Danto: Nietzsche gradually began to attach less and less importance to art.
Danto III 51
>Art/Nietzsche.
Neither art itself nor the usual pathways of royalty lead to the promised truths. It is possible to create an analogy between art and (so-called) knowledge by considering its origin and function: both consist of illusions, whereby the illusions of science and sensuality make life possible, the illusions of art makes it bearable.
>Truth/Nietzsche.
Reason: Nietzsche draws these pessimistic conclusions from his epistemological analysis (like B. Russell later): according to them, our perceptions cannot be similar to their causes, so that the language we use (...) does not really describe the world.
Art/Nietzsche/Danto: art consists of unspent illusions, while the "truth" that opposes it is made up of stale illusions.
>World/thinking/Nietzsche, >Music/Nietzsche, >Literature/Nietzsche.
