I. German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) placed such a high value on aesthetics that his ideas on art form a core of his thought. In this respect he extends the interests of Schopenhauer, of whose writing he was a devotee in his younger years. Indeed, the ideas in his first book
Tragedy as I understand Nietzsche in Birth, is the Apollonian hero mocked by the Dionysian chorus of satyrs.
It’s weird that Nietzsche thought Humanism derived from Christianity. I thought Humanism was more geared to the human and Christianity to a supernatural order. I’ve never understood the idea that human rights derived from Christianity. When did Jesus talk about human rights?
