Dinu Lipatti's bones: This, Nietzsche says, is the ground of our ‘ultimate
gratitude to art‘...:
This, Nietzsche says, is the ground of our ‘ultimate gratitude to art‘ ‘and it
is extremely important to be clear that his claim is not that we need art in
order to avoid truth altogether, or as an alternative form of life to one that
values truth, or to aestheticize existence by seeing it ‘as‘ a work of art, but,
exactly to the contrary, that we need art in order really to be able to face the
truth, in order to seduce to life those who have been shaken by genuine insight
into its horrors. The gruesome fate of someone who possesses only an exceptional
capacity to look truthfully at the world‘and no counterbalancing capacity for
art‘is exemplified by Hamlet:‘In this sense the Dionysian man resembles Hamlet:
both have once looked truly into the essence of things, they have gained
knowledge, and nausea inhibits action ‘ Knowledge kills action; action requires
the veils of illusion: that is the doctrine of Hamlet ‘ ‘.
