Nietzsche's positive evaluation of illusion from an aesthetic point of view

[caldegold]

Hello all! I want to do a bachelor thesis (licence) about Nietzsche's positive evaluation of illusion from an aesthetic point of view, which I have to present in July 2018. For the moment I don't have the general plan for my thesis, and the first step is to reread the works of Nietzsche and to take notes on the matter. In the meantime, I would really like us to discuss here Nietzsche's aesthetics, the primacy of art over science, the denial of the slogan "l'art pour l'art" and the discriminatory character of the artist et cetera.

I would begin with the Birth of Tragedy and its definition of Dionysian and Apollonian.
