A collection of 11 essays and an introduction on Nietzsche's views on art and the aesthetic in the context of his overarching practical-existential project. All of the major themes of Nietzsche's aesthetics are discussed: art and the affirmation of life, the relationship between art and truth, music, tragedy, the nature of aesthetic experience, the role of art in Nietzsche's positive ethics, his critique of romanticism, and his ambivalent attitude towards Richard Wagner. Reviews by Matthew Meyer (Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews), Andrew Huddleston (British Journal for the History of Philosophy), James Mock (Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism).
