Nietzsche
In what ways could Nietzsche¡¯s thought be seen as an introduction to the 20th century?
In 1900, Friedrich Nietzsche died, and at the same time, 20th century begun. ... Nietzsche opened the discussion of humanity. ... Nietzsche was in a sense a philosophical giant standing at the turning of the century with enormous cultural and philosophical impacts on developments of the 20th century. During the last decade of Nietzsche¡¯s life and the first decade of the 20th century, his thought was particularly attractive to avant-garde artists who saw themselves on the periphery of established social fashion and practice. Here, Nietzsche¡¯s advocacy of new, healthy beginnings, and of creative artistry in general stood forth. ... Nietzsche¡¯s anti-idealism and the theory about ¡°the death of God¡± can be seen as introduction to the 20th century.
The death of God, for Nietzsche, implies the loss of any sort of common assumption about the meaning and structure of the world. ...
Nietzsche¡¯s idea of the ¡°Eternal Return¡± harbors one major thought. ...
In his philosophy, Friedrich Nietzsche presents the idea of eternal return as an answer to nihilism. Nietzsche addresses the idea of eternal return in his work Thus Spake Zarathustra. ... Nietzsche says time is circular. ...
I think the idea of eternal return is rather interesting, It is more my opinion that Nietzsche just offered eternal return as an incentive to do things in your life that you wouldnt mind doing over and over again for eternity. ... I think that the idea of eternal return is exactly what Nietzsche needed to motivate people to do positive things. ... Nietzsche says its circular and inescapable, and yet he offers an escape from it. According to Nietzsche, the Overman is to humans what we are to the apes. ...
If applied to the ¡°World of Advertising¡± what does Nietzsche¡¯s thought have to teach us about that world and our relationship to that world?
Throughout his Meditations, Nietzsche claimed that modern culture was ¡°barbaric¡± (a formless amalgamation of fragmentary competing styles, ideas, and works) and assailed the excessive rationalism, egotistical individualism, shallow optimism, homogenization, and fragmentation that he saw as characteristic of modern culture. ... Nietzsche enlighten the reader to question himself or herself on you their true essence, but Advertising absolutely not, they only beat their concept into your brain. Nietzsche claimed that God is dead, but Advertising makes a God (Whatever he is beautiful or ugly) to control people¡¯s thought only for their selling and earn money.
I gave the examples from the 20th century Art World of Piet Mandrian, Jackson Pollack, and Mark Rothko to explicate Nietzsche¡¯s notion of the Apollonian and Dionysian Principle. ...
Nietzsche used the names Apollonian and Dionysian for the two forces because Apollo, as the sun-god, represents light, clarity, and form, whereas Dionysus, as the wine-god, represents drunkenness and ecstasy.
Apollonian and Dionysian are terms used by Nietzsche in The Birth of Tragedy to designate the two central principles in Greek culture. ...
Nietzsche believed that both forces were present in Greek tragedy, and that the true tragedy could only be produced by the tension between them. ...
Foucault
Foucault¡¯s notion of the ¡°Limit Horizon¡± and the ¡°Limit Experience¡± has many applications both personal and social. ...
Foucault argues that the boundary of experience is an experience- the limit experience.
