The source of life - primordial, creative energy beyond rationality and beyond moral categorisation as good or evil.
Dionysian (blissful ecstacy) - Art is an alternative to the draining life force of western civilisation. It represents "the highest taste and the truly metaphysical activity of this life.
Dionysian Vs. Apollonian(the voice of order, sober rationality)
Inversion of Kantian aesthetis, that Kant only considers the spectator "which gives pleasure without interest".
Aesthetic experience is not what occurs in an isolated, priviliged sphere of existence, it is the very foundation of life.
Aesthetic relation - the gulf that separates subject and object, appearance and truth. Apollonian and Dionysian.
Continual rebirths.
The D motives of artist as opposed to spectator "true artist". Nihilistic "playing with seriousness" D Vs. A
Redefines art as a drive, force, rhythm.
No simple binary opposition of appearance or truth. Truth appears through the rhythm of intuition, language, music and image.
"art is worth more than truth"
Shaped discourse of modernism and post modernism.
Reception of artwork irreducible to formalist-linguistic concepts and the mere appreciation of beauty.
aisthesis - Viewers sensuous apprehension of an artwork.
Tragic Culture - Within the sphere of tragedy, art exists within the A and D.It can live resolutely in wholeness and fullness because the "tragic man of such a culture" is not afraid to desire a new art.
Art must first pass through the suffering of life before it can attain its ultimate goal.
