Wagner shattered Nietzsche's so-called master morality. On hearing Parsifal for the first time, Nietzsche admitted in a letter to his sister that he doubted his own philosophy, and was tempted to the Christian answer of life. Why do you think Nietzsche hid from Wagner? Nietzsche was not strong enough to resist his influence.

I just can't share Wagner's and (especially young) Nietzsche's extreme passion for art. Maybe the ironic detachment on the internet rotted my brain, but while I enjoy art Wagner's worship of art just seems naive to me.
>>
>>23543511
Then it's just a matter of you lacking the sensitivity/education to appreciate art. The younger you are the easier it is to develop it. Just see Nietzsche's reaction to art, the extreme absorption he describes in TBoT was characteristic of him his entire life, whether or not he subscribed to the Romantic view of art. Before you can judge art you must have that heightened appreciation of it.

>What Hegel asserted concerning art-that it had lost its power to be the definite fashioner and preserver of the absolute-Nietzsche recognized to be the case with the "highest values," religion, morality, and philosophy: the lack of creative force and cohesion in grounding man's historical existence upon beings as a whole. Whereas for Hegel it was art-in contrast to religion, morality, and philosophy-that fell victim to nihilism and became a thing of the past, something nonactual, for Nietzsche art is to be pursued as the countermovement. In spite of Nietzsche's essential departure from Wagner, we see in this an outgrowth of the Wagnerian will to the "collective artwork." Whereas for Hegel art as a thing of the past became an object of the highest speculative knowledge, so that Hegel's aesthetics assumed the shape of a metaphysics of spirit, Nietzsche's meditation on art becomes a "physiology of art."

Atheists multiply when Catholics put their kids in front of the TV/ipad. I saw it with my own eyes, religious generations that would give up any and all career advancements (commie Yugoslavia) so they can still go to church, and the next generation that is overwhelmingly progressive and atheist.
And they're all progressive and atheist in the same way, that's the strange part.

Generation Alpha, at least in my country, seems to be experiencing this in both directions at once.

>I cannot think of it without feeling violently shaken, so elevated was I by it, so deeply moved. It was as if someone were speaking to me again, after many years, about the problems that disturb me — naturally not supplying the answers I would give, but the Christian answer, which after all has been the answer of stronger souls than the last two centuries of our era have produced. When listening to this music one lays Protestantism aside as a misunderstanding — and also, I will not deny it, other really good music, which I have at other times heard and loved, seems, as against this, a misunderstanding!

Nietzsche wrote in a letter that he was appalled by the attendees at the Bayreuth festival. This was at the breaking point of their relationship.
>>
>>23552096
The attendees at the Bayreuth festival were from every royal family in Europe. Wagner wanted a cultural event, freed from commercial culture, but instead it just became the biggest commercial event in Europe for the upper classes. Nietzsche was disgusted by this, and he wrongly assumed that Wagner was happy with it. Wagner contented himself with the fact that at least the festival allowed him to perform his works to as close to perfection as was possible.

There's a reason why Wagner attracted those people: his work carried with it the stench of the masses.

Wagner and Parsifal are hardly "Christian" so Nietzsche's emotional reaction is completely meaningless.

>>
>>23554205
>Wagner and Parsifal are hardly "Christian"
Parsifal was Christian to the core, I don't get how that's not painfully obvious. Wagner always had extremely Christian leanings even in his early days, since Tanhauser at least. Maybe not "Christian" in the Nietzschean sense, but Nietzsche's conception of Christianity is stupid.
>>
>>23554233
Wagner is merely a deist and every branch of Christianity would consider him heretical. Any attempt to claim him as anything other than "Gottgläubig" is grossly disingenuous and you know that you're lying. Wagner himself said "I do not believe in God; but I believe in godliness" and even Scruton

As for Parsifal, employing simulacra of Christianity and elements of Buddhism isn't a promotion of Catholicism or anything that you're pretending it is. All the symbology of Christianity is abstracted, while the roots of the story itself are from the Germanic grail legend. Exploration of redemption is not exclusive to Christianity.

Wagner’s more of a Gnostic than a Deist from what I read about him stating this World may as well not be real in comparison of the outer-world or heaven. But I guess the German idealists are quasi-Gnostics.
>>
>>23554741
>Wagner’s more of a Gnostic than a Deist
the pedantry is pretty irrelevant, he obviously wasn't Catholic as the person above tried to pretend
>>
>>23554766
I never said that Wagner was Catholic, nor did I try to pretend he was. I've read what he's said about the Church, and Tanhauser itself snubs the pope. What I did say was that he had Christian leanings, even if the man himself was never a formal Christian. Simply calling him a deist is enormously reductive. The works (and his own writings) speak for themselves, and what they demonstrate is a profoundly Christian sense of the world, of life, though they may do away with the finer points of church dogma.
>>
>>23555138
he wasn't Christian in "any" sense, the idea of redemption and sacrifice wasn't invented by squabbling Jews and doesn't imply "Christian leanings" at all. You are backtracking because your ridiculous lie has been pointed out. You tried to imply that >>23541059 somehow, non-Christian Nietzsche was tempted to Christianity by non-Christian Wagner and non-Christian Parsifal, with shitty leading questions.

"Simply calling him a deist is enormously reductive" - nah, you're just coping now. he fits ever definition of Gottgläubig and even Roger Scruton thinks he is a deist of sorts.
>The works (and his own writings) speak for themselves
yes, they do.
>and what they demonstrate is a profoundly Christian sense of the world
no. it isn't.
unless you're about to make the low IQ argument that subhuman Jews invented everything ranging from beauty, to the sublime, art and redemption.
anyone attempting to argue what you are is a disingenuous Christian liar trying to claim more authentic, blatantly European Gesamtkunstwerk for a Jewish religion. it's transparent and pathetic.
Der Ring des Nibelungen is blatantly Christian, it even incorporates common Christian elements like the Nibelungenlied and the Götterdämmerung. you're so right.

Wish I haven't found this thread, I was really getting into Nietzsche's works and found myself enraptured with his vitalism and bold rejection of petty moralities of modern era that inhibit one's self-realization - I never bothered to read much about the man himself and some of the claims made ITT sounded slanderous at best but it made it look up his life and it does appear he died a virgin and was humiliated multiple times by his oneitis rejecting his advances..I cannot reconcile Nietzsche the writer so splendidly describing an unbothered winner and conqueror standing a giant amidst crowds of bugmen - with Nietzsche the man, whom I now imagine groveling at the feet of some socialite strumpet for a crumb of pussy and being waved off. I'm at a loss brehs, the ideals still resonate with me but they are now undercut by an intrusive thought that I'm buying into some loser nerd's power fantasy...

>>
>>23555978
Not quite. He wrote extensively on a variety of subjects, mostly to do with culture and art, but never anything prescriptive for life, at least not within a single piece. Really, it's good to listen to him and if you ever get curious about the deeper meanings within his works it's worthwhile to read the man's own reflections on the purpose of art.
>>
>>23554205
>Wagner and Parsifal are hardly "Christian"
In Nietzsche's sense they 100% are and Nietzsche explicitly identified them as such, and Wagner himself agreed. The Christian ideals of pity, forgiveness and self-sacrifice are all glorified in a manner consistent with Christian tradition. Even if he wouldn't be considered Christian theologically, he is 100% aligned with the spirit of Christianity. You can say redemption is not unique to Christianity, but Wagner very explicitly is portraying redemption from the Christian perspective, tied up with ideas of original sin, guilt, faith exemplified in the original mythos of Christ's life. The effect of the crucifixion is not comparable to the effect of anything in Buddhism or Hinduism, and it is integral to the world of Parsifal.
>>
>>23540544
>shatters your slave morality
Anon, Nietzsche never said any one morality is good or bad. He never said "you should not have slave morality". He said different moralities will be appropriate for different groups. A lion will have lion morality because he is a lion. What Nietzsche criticized is Christianity, where according to him morality had turned into a weird mixture between master morality and slave morality.
>>
>>23543685
Nietzsche never propagated nihilism, but warned against it.
>>
>>23555978
In most of his prose, even when ostensibly only about art, he is always explicating the ideal relation between art and life. How a Beethoven symphony can, for example, motivate a certain conception of and action in the world. Siegfried is the greatest depiction of youth, athleticism and selbstbildung in all art. And at each time Wagner is creating a drama, his outlook is dominated by it, so all of his prose works are the intellectual expression of that outlook. The equivalent prose works for Siegfried would be Art and Revolution, The Artwork of the Future, etc., in which we find statements like the following, where the emphasis is on art as the product of a lived experience:

>Art is the highest expression of activity of a race that has developed its physical beauty in unison with itself and Nature; and man must reap the highest joy from the world of sense, before he can mould therefrom the implements of his art; for from the world of sense alone, can he derive so much as the impulse to artistic creation.
>That which a man loves, that deems he beautiful; that which strong, free Men—who in community are all that of their essence they can be—that which they love in common, that is in very surety beautiful. No other natural standard exists for true, not inculcated, Beauty.

And at a later date, while writing Meistersinger, we find something of the opposite view, a justification of aesthetic-culture, a celebration of traditional art as an escape from life, an essentially conservative outlook. Seen in this way, we can conceive of a Tannhauser period, a Ring period, a Tristan period, a Parsifal period, etc. But there is never any contradiction. They all express differing aspects of life, and differing aspects of his own personality, as any dramatist must. Whichever drama interests you, read his prose works from around that time. Personally I find his Beethoven essay the most inspiring, and it may give you guidance in life.

There is a definite Christian version of these things. That's what Nietzsche believed. It's a fundamental aspect of Nietzsche's critique of Christianity, since he sees Christianity (very obviously) in much of Western culture. If you disagree with Nietzsche on this point just say so instead of beating around the bush.

Not for Nietzsche. And not for Wagner either. They both explicitly described Christianity as bringing something new to Europe and believed that new 'something' was embodied in Parsifal. You have to disagree with both Nietzsche's and Wagner's assessment to make these claims.
