Nietzsche and Kant on Aesthetics and Anthropology is dedicated to
Nietzsche and 'Kant's own revision of Kant'. Taking up traditional
aesthetic questions on beauty, the sublime and originality, this
volume also covers anthropological issues of luxury, sociability,
human nature, uniquely addressing topics that cut across the two
domains and defy any clear-cut classification. Subsequently
alongside the role of the senses and the significance of the
imagination, contributors consider Kant and Nietzsche's work on
laughter, music and genius. They discuss history and
historiography, identifying where they intersect with key concepts
in aesthetics and the third Critique. But rather than aligning or
opposing the two thinkers, Nietzsche and Kant on Aesthetics and
Anthropology offers a comparative reading of Nietzsche's and Kant's
thoughts on aesthetics and anthropology. By presenting new
perspectives of reading these two philosophers, this volume
uncovers differences and similarities between the two thinkers and
a deeper understanding of their shared philosophical problems.
