Anti-Decadent Nietzsche

This paper starts thinking about Nietzsche’s resistance against "Decadence" from three angles, which forms three images of different words, the order of which follows the rehabilitation process of a disease, during which the diversity of "Decadence" can be presented.. These images are all "decadents against decadence", which means the transformation always exists.In Chapter1, the words from "Dionysian Addict" shows the symptoms of "Decadence", and it tells us Nietzsche’s favor of limited world and "circle", and his negation of the optimism of knowledge or science at early time, considering that the former can preserve one’s ego or natural instincts so that it benefits life. Moreover the return of Dionysus with irony highlights the contradiction between Dionysus and faith, which shows the awareness of "Decadence" at his early time, and speaks out "the will to power". In Chapter2, consistent with the idea of his early time, it is for ego or natural instincts that knowledge is knocked down, Nietzsche as a psychologist proposes the revolution of ego, criticizing the moralization and popularization of Wagner’s art, yearning for the southern music, when he approves of science in accordance with "the negative spirit" and "the Dionysian spirit", who keep seeking, wondering and depict a straight line. For these two images,"Decadence" both means the loss of ego, the Dionysus compromised with Apollo or never protects or seeks for ego.Chapter3embarks from the analysis of the dual meanings of Zarathustra’s doctrines, which shows the double will of the noble. Only if one comes into being a creator and noble person finding the ego and having the awareness of setting values, could one has descendants owing health in the future; while the last men with ruminant faith which is anesthetics provided by the noble submit to death without descendants. The real health belongs to the child in the future, who is the last step of the spiritual transformation setting no value facing the world, to say "Yes" to the generating world without any idea of circle or line or any other ideas. Therefore the noble are also bridges, and they need to abandon their will and ego. As we see,"Decadence" is a natural part or one stage of healthy life, speaking and giving values as Zarathustra does are symptoms of "Decadence". Children’s ego is "nihility".
