| Abstract [eng] |
The article analyzes the relationship between nihilism and aesthetics. The question about the outcome of Nietzsche's nihilism is raised. Does nihilism appear as an aesthetical phenomenon? In search of an answer, Gottfried Benn's figure intervenes by giving a response to Nietzsche's nihilism as an aesthetical position, a response which is aesthetical consideration as well. The analysis proceeds by focusing on Benn's conception of nihilism, on the expressionist art platform which allows nihilism as an aesthetical phenomenon. Finally, the article points out that Benn's term ratio emerges both as the principle of nihilistic crisis and the principle how to overcome it. |
