Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) supported the unification of Europe
and reflected on this like few other philosophers before or after
him. Many ofhis works are concerned with the present state and
future of European culture and humanity. Resisting the "nationalist
nonsense" and "politics of dissolution" of his day, he advocated
the birth of "good Europeans," i.e. "supra-national" individuals
and the "amalgamation of nations."Nietzsche, Wagner,Europe analyzes
the development of Friedrich Nietzsche's ideal of European culture
based on his musical aesthetics. It does so against the background
of contemporary searches for a wider, cultural meaning beyond
Europe's economic-political union. The book claims that Nietzsche
always propagated the "aestheticization" of Europe, but that his
view on how to achieve this changed as a result of his dramatically
altering philosophy of music. The main focus is on Nietzsche's
passion for and later aversion to Wagner's music, and, in direct
connection with this, his surprising embrace of Italian operas as
new forms of "Dionysian" music and of Goethe as a model of "Good
Europeanism."
