Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺中教育大學 === 教育學系 === 99 === This study aims to explore the educational implications of Friedrich Nietzsche’s aesthetics by the method of educational hermeneutics. The thesis includes four parts. The first is to analyze the background of Nietzsche’s opinion regarding aesthetics; the second is to discuss the content of his thoughts; the third is to appraise his theory, interpreting its implication on education; and the final part is to integrate results and come up with suggestions for further studies.
The results show that the aesthetics of Nietzsche originates from that of the earliest Greek, Heraclitus, Arthur Schopenhauer and Richard Wagner, which contains the aesthetic perspective on life, science, art, and culture. The significance of Nietzsche’s Aesthetics is, through the aesthetic value of tragic spirit, to honor the artistic ideal of music, emphasize a positive and confident life attitude, reflect the power of science and the rationality of the sublime, and fulfill overman culture. Apollonian spirits of Nietzsche’s Aesthetics does not mean Socratic rationality and its illusion is not negative either. Instead, it represents such life attitude and the energy of art that sparkles innovation. His aesthetics suffers from negative evaluation because it attaches importance to personal value but ignores the social one of a country; it emphasizes people’s emotion but criticizes long-existing moral standards; and it puts great significance on the value of lives but shows no respect to that of women’s.
In terms of the implication of education of life , it strengthens the importance of life and aims to help students find their value of life and identify with it. Therefore, curriculum focuses on value reevaluation and aesthetic experiences. In terms of the implication of education of science, it emphasizes the appreciation of this subject, and prevents students from idolatry. In terms of the implication of education of arts, the goal is to give students an opportunity to experience its beauty and develop their sense of arts and creativity. In terms of education of culture, the target is to develop students’ appreciation of different culture so that they will judge the value of existing culture and innovate new one. Therefore, the focus of curriculum is exploration and creation.
