NIETZSCHE, ART and AESTHETICS
International Conference of the Friedrich Nietzsche Society
* Supported by the British Society of Aesthetics *
University of Warwick
12th-14th September 2003
CALL FOR PAPERS
Nietzsche is a thinker who places art and the aesthetic at the centre
of his theoretical concerns and philosophical ambitions. In this
conference we are interested in exploring the role art plays in
Nietzsche's thinking and across the entire span of his oeuvre, from the
artist's metaphysics which informs The Birth of Tragedy to the focus on
the psychology of the artist and the physiology of art which features
in his later writings such as Twilight of the Idols. In addition, we
wish to open up Nietzsche's thinking on art and aesthetics to an
encounter with the modern tradition (Kant, for example) and to approach
his work from the perspective of contemporary concerns and debates.
Confirmed Speakers include: Marco Casanova (UERJ, Rio de Janeiro),
Daniel W. Conway (Penn State, USA), David E. Cooper (Durham), Robert
Gooding-Williams (Northwestern, USA), Beatrice Han-Pile (Essex), Rachel
Jones (Dundee), Nuno Nabais (Lisbon, Portugal), Matthew Rampley
(Edinburgh College of Art), Aaron Ridley (Southampton), Gary Shapiro
(Richmond, USA), James Williams (Dundee).
