The possibility of realizing a “synthetic man” through art in the philosophy of F. Nietzsche

Annotation

This article is devoted to the problem of the implementation of the “synthetic man” as opposed to the “prelude man” in the philosophy of F. Nietzsche. The study of this philosophical and anthropological typology developed by F. Nietzsche is extremely relevant, since in the course of this study a successful attempt is made to trace the influence of F. Nietzsche's ideas on the postclassical style of philosophizing. The study is carried out based on a number of sources that are essential for revealing the topic: texts by J. Bataille, M. Merleau-Ponty, M. Heidegger, K.G. Jung. The article analyzes the Nietzschean concept of “fragmentarity” of man, which the author associates with “anthropological incompleteness”: the impossibility, under certain historical conditions, of coordinating the essential components that make up a person in a consistent unity. The author associates this impossibility with both the problematic separation of human being from the existing, and with the “habit” of seeing fragments of reality and never seeing its integrity. This work creatively combines various philosophical concepts that characterize the uniqueness of Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophical thinking in solving problems of philosophical and anthropological typology, identifying the essential features of the phenomenon of “symphonicity / syntheticity” of human nature and determining the creative potential of the “new man”. The result of the study is an original conceptual move: according to the author, the philosophical and anthropological typology developed by Friedrich Nietzsche makes it possible to rethink the phenomenon of creativity and radically abandon the dichotomous model of man, overcoming the subject-object gap and returning to a holistic attitude.
