This paper holds that the core of Nietzsche's aesthetics is intoxication. Nietzsche's given this word a special mean that is different from its traditional mean, which compose his original contribution to aesthetics. In Nietzsche's early idea, intoxication is the alias of Bacchus. But in his late works, Bacchus and Phoebus's fantasy both become sorts of intoxication, intoxication is defined as a psychological premiss for tasting. Nietzche's intoxication is not only different from Plato's divine madness, but also different from Chinese neglectness. It is inspired by human's instinct, and it is the representation and the creation of pure life. Nietzche's intoxication emphasis on the increation of wil power, and its essence is the affirmation of body."God is dead."The tragedy is inevitable, so Nietzche expected that intoxication could be a way to salvage human beings. When confronted with nihility, human beings need the will to power, sensibility of life and aesthetic attitude to life.
