The Case of Wagner, Nietzsche Contra Wagner, and Selected Aphorisms. by Nietzsche

"The Case of Wagner, Nietzsche Contra Wagner, and Selected Aphorisms" by Friedrich Nietzsche is a collection published in 1888. This provocative work marks Nietzsche's dramatic break with composer Richard Wagner, critiquing his music and political entanglements. Nietzsche presents Wagner as a symptom of Europe's broader affliction: nihilism. The philosopher showcases his music criticism while exploring art's relationship to humanity's future. This stands in sharp contrast to Nietzsche's earlier praise of Wagner, revealing an intellectual rupture that consumed his final creative years. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
