Many ofhis works are concerned with the present state and future of European culture and humanity. Resisting the \"nationalist nonsense\" and \"politics of dissolution\" of his day, he advocated the birth of \"good Europeans,\" i.e. \"supra-national\" individuals and the \"amalgamation of nations.\"Nietzsche, Wagner, Europe analyzes the development of Friedrich Nietzsche's ideal of European culture based on his musical aesthetics. It does so against the background of contemporary searches for a wider, cultural meaning beyond Europe's economic-political union. The book claims that Nietzsche always propagated the \"aestheticization\" of Europe, but that his view on how to achieve this changed as a result of his dramatically altering philosophy of music. The main focus is on Nietzsche's passion for and later aversion to Wagner's music, and, in direct connection with this, his surprising embrace of Italian operas as new forms of \"Dionysian\" music and of Goethe as a model of \"Good Europeanism.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMartine Prange, Leiden University, Netherlands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 295\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 9.4 x 6.6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 20, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42711450157119,"sku":"9783110481631","price":25.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/160d775dbf244f582d53fee348bc1987.webp?v=1765058541","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/nietzsche-wagner-europe-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
