Telvin Harrell: Art as Redemption

Friedrich Nietzsche view art as an escape of the world. Art he sees as soemthing to makr life, which is terrible, bearable.

Others would agree that yes life can be terrible and is all to often filled with things that are not right and crimes that go unpunished. But some people would disagree that the escape of such a thing is art. Earlier today I was visited by two Jehovah's witnesses in front of my house. The watch tower magazine that I was given asked the question what is the key to a meaningful life; the answer is Jehovah.

Athough nietzsche would disagree wtih the fact that religion could be the key to a meaningful life and the escape of the horrors of reality, being that he is an atheist; is he replacing the religious aspect of his life with Art?
