On The Influence Of Nietzsche’s Aesthetics On Kafka’s Novels

From Kafka’s novels,we can often smell the unique taste of Nietzsche’s aesthetics.As a milestone in the development of Western literature,their "meeting" is indeed a wonderful thing.Therefore,in the field of Kafka research,the relationship between him and Nietzsche(more accurately,the influence of Nietzsche)is an important problem to be solved: to clarify the relationship between Kafka and Nietzsche is of great significance not only for the understanding of Kafka’s works,but also for the study of Nietzsche’s ideological influence;As an important channel of Nietzsche’s research on Kafka’s influence,Nietzsche’s Aesthetic Research on Kafka’s novel creation is particularly important.Firstly,this paper combs the embodiment of Nietzsche’s aesthetic thought in Kafka’s novels,and explains the objective presentation of Nietzsche’s aesthetics in Kafka’s novels.In Kafka’s novel creation,Nietzsche’s tragic world view is reflected in some plots and images of the novel as well as his strong concern for life through Kafka’s reflection and creative transformation of his own situation.While "art metaphysics" provides defense for survival,it also provides strong spiritual support for Kafka’s novel creation.Writing not only becomes Kafka’s spiritual refuge,but also makes the creation itself an "aesthetic phenomenon" to defend itself and the survival of people in the absurd situation.From the perspective of artists,"art physiology" reflects the more internal relationship between Nietzsche’s aesthetics and Kafka’s novel creation" The attention to the artist’s creative state in "art physiology" is reflected in Kafka’s novel creation process,and this attention to the artist’s aesthetic state dominated by the physical and mental state is reflected in Kafka’s body narrative through the body of the literary image in the novel and directly connected with his own body.After sorting out the objective existence of Nietzsche’s aesthetic factors in Kafka’s novels,this paper tries to explore the generation process of Nietzsche’s aesthetics in Kafka’s novels,in order to reveal the mystery of why these factors can exist in Kafka’s novels.As an important part of the tragic world outlook,the Apollo spirit and Dionysian spirit are transformed into the Apollo type soberness and Dionysian type intoxication respectively in Kafka’s novels.The Apollo type soberness means that Kafka’s novels are moderately sober in dealing with pain and show concern for life and life itself through creating images,The Dionysian intoxication is reflected in Kafka’s attitude towards the contradiction and split of writing and his concern for the real life and human destiny through his novel creation.The metaphysics of art bears the burden of Kafka’s self salvation through novel creation.Kafka’s insistence on novel creation and his emphasis on the identity of a literary scientist are transformed from his attention to the state of artists’ creation and the importance of artists in art physiology.In Kafka’s novels,the strong will and eternal return turn into the faithful record of "the truth of life" and the deep revelation and reflection of survival dilemma with the affirmation and love of life itself.On this basis,the paper makes a detailed analysis and Discussion on the nihilism in Kafka’s literary creation,which focuses on Nietzsche’s aesthetics.In Kafka’s novel creation,there are not only Nietzsche’s thinking of "art as an anti movement against nihilism" and his literary creation against nihilism,but also Nietzsche’s attempt to break through nihilism with body under the inspiration of reconstructing the world of art and body existence by using body as a bridge.At the same time,the "absurd" aesthetic style in his novels is not only the external embodiment of Kafka’s nihilism thinking,but also has the same metaphysical origin with Nietzsche’s nihilism thinking.Finally,the paper reflects on the future trend of the confluence of "poetry and philosophy" reflected in Kafka’s novels under the influence of Nietzsche’s aesthetic nihilism.From the victory of philosophy over poetry in the Republic to the desire of Nietzsche’s philosophy for poetry’s victory,after Nietzsche,poetry and philosophy gradually show a trend of unity.The writers represented by Kafka are exploring the way out of nihilism in the literary creation full of philosophical significance.
