| Aesthetics | Vischer | Pfotenhauer IV 100 Ästhetik/Vischer/NietzscheVsVischer/Pfotenhauer: Friedrich Theodor Vischer, who at an early stage had provoked Nietzsche's disgust as a "renowned aesthete from the Hegelian school of reason"(1) had already made his mark with the relevant publication "Über das Erhabene und Komische", 1837(2). It was about how the initially unaesthetic, the ugly, could be absorbed in the medium of art. Vischer considered "the interest of the senses" as a challenge to aesthetics(2), the disharmony in the "quarrel of indignant forces", the acridness of tragic discord (ibid. p. 69), but also the isolated, the "substance-like atoms" that are present to us in their "massiveness" as an experience of nature (ibid. p. 64). The question was how these elements, which endanger the aesthetic harmony, could be overcome. Solution/Vischer: the key to the solution of the problem lies in Kant's definition of the sublime. The sublime proves "a capacity of the mind that surpasses every measure of the senses." (ibid. p. 71; on Kant's criticism of the power of judgement §25ff, p. 333ff, especially p. 336). >Sublime. Sublime/Vischer: what appears to our sensual imagination to be excessive and monstrous, awakens in us the feeling of a supernatural capacity. The finite in its form, incommensurable to the senses, need not offend our aesthetic sensibility, but can awaken in us the idea of the infinite ex negativo. Ugliness becomes a mere occasion. Beauty/Vischer: beauty produces turbulences, "fermentations" (ibid. p. 69) from within itself in order to be able to lift itself to a higher level because of its own opposition. Sublime/Vischer: the sublime thus becomes a necessary and essential component of the idea of beauty. It proves its increasing ability and superiority. NietzscheVsVischer/Pfotenhauer: Nietzsche could not embrace this belief in referencing and transcending. 1. F. Nietzsche Unzeitgemäße Betrachtungen, 2, KGW III, 1, S. 167. 2. F. Th.
