Friedrich Nietzsche on Literature - Dictionary of Arguments
Danto III 74 Literature/Nietzsche/Danto: According to Nietzsche, Euripides killed the tragedy. NietzscheVsEuripides, NietzscheVsSocrates. >Socrates/Nietzsche. Euripides: Nietzsche characterizes him as an essentially rational person, who was plunged into deep confusion by what he saw as irrational accessories in the dramas of his predecessors.(1) Danto III 75 For Nietzsche, Euripides was nothing more than a mask from which a power spoke that had emerged for the first time: Socrates. Def Socratism/Aesthetics/Nietzsche: Nietzsche blames the triumph of Socratism almost exclusively for an artistic catastrophe of gigantic proportions: for the death of the tragedy by the spirit of reason. This means that an ideal of artistic naturalism had emerged, and Nietzsche called his guiding principle the "aesthetic Socratism": "Everything must be understood in order to be beautiful".(2) >Naturalism, >Beauty. Right/Correctness/Socrates: Socrates asks in the Politeia whether it can have any value if you do not know why you are right: he could be a blind man who found the right way purely by chance. Danto III 76 NietzscheVsEuripides: his tragedies would be equivalent to art that is only "imitated".(3) >Art/Nietzsche. 1. F. Nietzsche. Die Geburt der Tragödie, 4, KGW III, p. 78f 2. Ibid. p. 81f 3.
