Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) supported the unification of Europe
and reflected on this like few other philosophers before or after
him. Many of his 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."
