Nietzsche: Ethics and the Art of Transfiguration
Abstract
Nietzsche identifies philosophy as an art of transfiguration in the 1887 edition of The Gay Science. There is a strong linkage between this expression and the last work of Rafael Sanzio, La trasfigurazione (1520), commented in The Birth of Tragedy, where art is considered as transfigurative. Philosophy and art are related to the act of transfiguration and both must be put in relation to life; which has to be transfigured by love.
