Summary:

Nietzsche had a particular interest in the relationship between art and life, and in art's contribution to his philosophical aims - to identify the conditions of the affirmation of life, cultural renewal, and exemplary human living. These new essays demonstrate that understanding his engagement with art is essential for understanding his philosophy.
