The Disquisition On Nietzsche's Aesthetec Modernity Thought

Scientific spirit leading world order, ethics affecting people' social life, all these are the essential contents of illuminative modernity. Through efforts of several centuries, when modern society comes into reality in the 20th century, A postmodernistic trend of thought which against rational monism sweeped across whole the Western countries. Review the history we will find aesthetic modernity thought, especially Nietzsche 's aesthetic modernity thought is the cradle of the postmodernistic trend of thought in west.From the rational monism of illuminative modernity to the plural axiology of postmodernity, the perception monism of aesthetic modernity serves as a bridge. Because the rational suggestion is social and transcendent, it puts emphasis on universal agreement. Perceptual suggestion is personal, it doesn't request others' approval, indeed it thinks that it is a kind of normal phenomenon to have different sounds. Carrying out the perception monism through to the end must break uniform thinking finally and realize the plural axiology which the postmodernists are asking for.Nietzsche's aesthetic modernity thought regards the moderns' dissimilation in western society as the fact of setting forth his views, Nietzsche thought that in order to save out moderns from the dissimilation state it must to evaluate all the extant ideology newly, especially the value of truth and morals. Because truth and moral are considered to be the supreme purposes of mankind all the time, and as the general and transcendental things, truth and moral snuff out the possibility of estimate. So Nietzsche's criticism to modernity begins with subverting the absolute value of truth and moral, destroying their words hegemony , and gives art the limitless high praise at the end.Nietzsche revealed the world essence of truth and moral mainly by using analytical method of pedigree study, he regarded the truth as" the mistakes which promote life ", and he pointed out the way leading to truth is not the way leading to happy. In addition, Nietzsche crushs the sacred veil of moral by oppugning the essence of moral and by attacking the moral of Christianism. In this way, Nietzsche's aesthetic modernity thought blazons forth the artistic philosophy through constraining and belittling the existence value of truth and moral. The artistic philosophy thinks people should still dare to survive even the living is horrific and there is a lack of the meaning of living, people should also have deep love for their bodies, and walk on their own creative road according with their own unique and natural instincts, following the plural value theory.Nietzsche's aesthetic modernity influenced existentialism and postmodernism deeply in the 20th century. Existentialism inherits Nietzsche on the thought that person is a becoming, not a being, and they also regard art as a panacea which can save moderns from the dissimilation. Postmodernists have inherited Nietzsche's unrational doctrine and excavate the plural axiology hidden in Nietzsche's aesthetic modernity thought, they finally raised the postmodernistic trend of thought which is against rational monism and overall idea at the end of the 20th century.Nietzsche's aesthetic modernity thought as a system is intact and distinct, and it's content is profound. But meanwhile there are three serious theory limitations: the narrow position of noble, the aesthetic plural relativism dangerous and the nihilism essence. All these should cause our attentions especially and we must try our best to overcome them.
