Art as expression of life as the will of power in Friedrich Nietzsche

Abstract

This article seeks to investigate art as an emblematic example of life as will to power, from the perspective of Friedrich Nietzsche. According to Nietzsche life is a constant creating and recreating without a pre-defined teleology. It is precisely this aspect that art expresses a more transparent way what life is therefore art is precisely the process of creation and recreation without a purpose beyond creation itself. The art from the perspective of the artist is always unfinished and so he continues to create, is as if the artist somehow would capture what life is, and reveal it in their art and in the creative process. The art besides being like everything else, moved by the will to power, to the extent that she herself is a constant drive by creating, reveals a very peculiar way the pathos that is life as will to power that always surpasses herself . Therefore, to realize the true artist against the current world how content and content as form, realizes the inverted world, and in this reversal look allows play with life, creating and transforming the current New. Furthermore, to the extent that the figures are contrasted by a necessary one photographer to support the existence, for the inversion of true reality is a reality in its many situations created. Criticized the values ​​exemplified by the action of the artist's conception of truth inaugurated by Socratic and Platonism, which in a way is based on a kind of deification of the rational concept. Our Philosopher explicit reversal of Platonism asserts that the truth-conceptual-rational metaphysics has less value than the irrationality of artistic pathos.
