OverviewThis is a depiction of the problems and potential of modernity through the words of two of its most poignant voices. It focuses upon the modern self's desire to individuate whilst facing the ethical responsibility to integrate with the world. Katrin Froese juxtaposes Nietzsche's drive for extraordinary individualism with Rousseau's call for the dependable citizen. She finds that where Nietzsche's aesthetism embraces the limitless and irreconcilable longings of a divided being, Rousseau's approach emphasizes the impositions of limits to ensure harmony and contentment prevail. However, she does not belabour their differences on the question of modernity but discusses the similarity at the heart of Rousseau's notion of morality and Nietzsche's aestheticism; the moral vision that underlies Nietzsche's notion of art and the aesthetic understanding prevalent in Rousseau's moral system.
