Disinterested contemplation#
Summary#
Nietzsche views disinterested contemplation as a suspect aesthetic doctrine under which modern art seeks to create a good conscience for itself. He groups it with self-renunciation morality as something that must be called to account and brought to judgment. The apparent appeal of such disinterested sentiments to all parties involved is not an argument in their favor but rather a reason for caution, as they may ultimately be deceptions.
