Part of me thinks he discovered deep truths about the nature of being, and a true description of the progression of knowledge in his dialectical (also his "truth is the whole" coherence formulation of truth makes way more sense than correspondence or pr*gmatism).

But then part of me fears he is just 250 IQ giga cope. He saw materialism and what would become eliminative materialism and epiphenomenalism approaching and constructed a grand palace of abstraction, an endless labyrinth of thought, as a giant cope to occupy the mind and trick it into feelings of revelation.

How do I know which is which? Working through the Phenomenology with a collection of secondary sources has already taken me over 1,000 pages, a notebook full of notes, and most of a year and I'm not even half way.

Is this going to bottom out like my studies into Gnosticism?

>What Hegel asserted concerning art-that it had lost its power to be the definite fashioner and preserver of the absolute-Nietzsche recognized to be the case with the "highest values," religion, morality, and philosophy: the lack of creative force and cohesion in grounding man's historical existence upon beings as a whole. Whereas for Hegel it was art-in contrast to religion, morality, and philosophy-that fell victim to nihilism and became a thing of the past, something nonactual, for Nietzsche art is to be pursued as the countermovement. In spite of Nietzsche's essential departure from Wagner, we see in this an outgrowth of the Wagnerian will to the "collective artwork." Whereas for Hegel art as a thing of the past became an object of the highest speculative knowledge, so that Hegel's aesthetics assumed the shape of a metaphysics of spirit, Nietzsche's meditation on art becomes a "physiology of art."
