Articulating Nietzsche's 'Aesth-Ethics' of Affirmation in an Age of Doubt

In this paper, I will attempt to articulate Nietzsche's recourse amidst the nihilism that cripples our sense of meaning. This paper will endeavor to re-contextualize Nietzsche's powerful and imaginative aesthetic theory of existence or what I will call "aesthethics" of affirmation-an artistic and stylish response amidst the gradual eclipse of thinking and the ambivalence to fully assume our fate. This response suggests that against the backdrop of today's magnified skepticism, art elevates, more than ever, its inimitable role to stimulate and inspire our numbing and dying relation to meaning and aspiration to live our lives and not to be lived by it.
