Abstract
ZENGOTITA, Alonso. Social Impact of Art: Conservation and Transformation in Freud and Nietzsche. Escritos - Fac. Filos. Let. Univ. Pontif. Bolivar. [online]. 2019, vol.27, n.59, pp.274-295. Epub Apr 04, 2020. ISSN 0120-1263. https://doi.org/10.18566/escr.v27n59.a04.
Based on two lines of reasoning, the article addresses the relation of both the works of Nietzsche and Freud with art: Firstly, the way in which Freud and Nietzsche think art relates to the social realm; secondly, that the very idea of art is closely linked to the way in which each one considers that perception and the very idea of life are characterized. Bearing this in mind, the article, then, correlates both lines of reasoning: the way in which both thinkers consider art in social terms is based on the very idea of life. Such correlation makes possible to explain why Freud establishes a syntonic relation with classical art, whereas Nietzsche's view establishes a syntonic relation with avant-garde art.
