艺术形而上学:尼采对世界和人生的审美辩护

The Metaphysics of Art: Nietzsche's Aesthetic Defense for the World and Human Life

《悲剧的诞生》落脚于“艺术形而上学”,即通过艺术赋予本无意义的世界和人生以一种形而上的意义,从而为世界和人生作审美的辩护。希腊的典范显示,艺术具有拯救人生的伟大作用。希腊悲剧提示了一种酒神世界观(die dionysische Weltanschauung),启示我们用审美的眼光去看世界意志,把它想象为一个宇宙艺术家,体验它的永远创造的快乐。为了肯定人生,我们必须把艺术看得比真理更有价值。

Nietzsche's The Birth of Tragedy is based on “the metaphysics of art”, which offers a metaphysical meaning to the meaningless world and human life and provides an aesthetic defense for the world and human life. The Greek examples have revealed such a fact that art plays a great role in saving life. The Greek tragedy reveals “die dionysische Weltanschauung”, which enlightens us to view the will of the world from the aesthetic perspective and to regard it as an artist of the cosmos while enjoying the everlasting happiness of creation. To have a positive attitude towards life, we must regard art more valuable than truth.
