Kurgan A.P. Nietzsche's Aesthetics. Philosophy of the Noble Affect. The Beginning

Abstract: This article is devoted to the topic that has never been truly studied in the academic literatue -  Nietzsche's aesthetics. The only serious research of Nietzsche's aesthetics that is worthy of being mentioned is Zeitler's book ' Nietzsche's Aesthetics' published in 1900. However, the book had no trace of 'true' Nietzsche because by the time it was published Nietzsche had already managed to drop the field of aesthetics, started to study ethics and metaphysics and went insane. The only one who wrote about Nietzsche and doubted his insanity was Jaspers. The author of the present artile has used Nietzsche's methods comparing Greeck mythology and general culture (nempe), defining functions of gods (analysis inside mythology) and studying Greek culture which Nietzsche called 'religious'. The author makes the following two conclusions: 1) the content-related conclusion. The author completes Nietzsche's method and believes that it is possible to replace the main beginnings of art according to Nietzsche (dream and drunkeness) with the symbolic and affective beginnings defined by the author. 2) the pro forma conclusion: even the same method used may lead to different results. This proves the fact that humanities still lack an accurate method of research.
