Nietzsche contra Schopenhauer on Art and Truth.
Part of Plato's complaint about the cognitive status of art cites the pollution of aesthetic cognition by the affective side of our natures. Schopenhauer, by contrast, takes aesthetic cognition to transcend (some of) the limitations of everyday cognition precisely because in it agents become the " p...

Schopenhauer, by contrast, takes aesthetic cognition to transcend (some of) the limitations of everyday cognition precisely because in it agents become the " pure, will-less subject of cognition " (WWR I 219). On the orthodox reading of his later philosophy, Nietzsche scorns Plato and Schopenhauer's association of the value of art with its truthfulness. I challenge the orthodox reading and argue that one strand of art's value is its penetrative cognitive power. In contrast to Schopenhauer, Nietzsche understands this cognitive power to result from the embracing and exploitation of the affects in the artistic process rather than their extirpation. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: © 2019 Hegeler Institute. item: Monist holder: Oxford University Press / USA dt: @attributes: year: 2024 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
