Foucault's Existent Esthetics And Nietzsche's Dionysus Spirit

In this thesis, the leitmotiv is to ascertain the connection between Nietzsche's Dionysus Spirit and Foucault's existent esthetics. And through comparing, the author think that Foucault's existent esthetics is the development on the basic of taking over the mantle of Nietzsche's Dionysus Spirit.Nietzsche thinks that Dionysus Sacred Ritual is the concentrated deduction of boundless journey of lives, and Dionysus Spirit is even the aesthetic thinking of lives noumenal. Dionysus Spirit asks people to enjoy themselves' convivial song of living on the angle of lives noumenal. It is on the very basic of "aesthetic attitude on life", in this thesis author brings Nietzsche's Dionysus Spirit and Foucault's existent esthetics into uniform eyeshot, and roundly regards their philosophic meaning and aesthetic connotation, and carves out the conversational new bourn and new eyeshot of encounter between them: Firstly, Nietzsche thinks that Dionysus Spirit symbolizes high-spirited life-force. And "care for oneself which is brought forward by Foucault is the deepening to that Dionysus care for lives. Secondly, Dionysus Spirit blazon forth irrationality, and the "bodily esthetics" which lift up Foucault's voice is the sublimation to Dionysus irrationality. Lastly, the "infatuation" of Dionysus Spirit asks individual life to take greet gladness on the process of introjecting world noumenon. And the "without main bodily esthetics" which is claimed by Foucault's existent esthetics exceeds the "infatuation" of Dionysus Spirit. Therefore, Foucault's existent esthetics contains a lot of genes of Nietzsche's Dionysus Spirit. Nietzsche does his best to canonize life and life-force utmost by dint of Dionysus Spirit. Foucault's existent esthetics deepens and advances Nietzsche's opinion, and asks to dig hided aesthetic feeling of life and to achieve the beautification of daily life.
