  • Anne Woodward, musician and philosopher, explores what it means to understand Nietzsche’s ideas from ‘the perspective of the artist’ and why Nietzsche has been such a source of inspiration for many composers and visual artists, past and present. Anne Borsboom, poet and writer, talks with five visual artists and a composer, all involved in creating visual works and music based on Nietzsche’s thoughts and poetry, about their experiences and the inspiration Nietzsche provided. She interweaves her own impressions and ponderings throughout these interviews. Piet Steenbakkers, lecturer in the history of modern philosophy at the University of Utrecht and holder of the Chair of Spinoza Studies at the Erasmus University, Rotterdam, argues that a chapter entitled, Why I write such good music, would not have been amiss in Nietzsche’s autobiography, Ecce homo. Piet discusses the merits of Nietzsche’s music and poetry in relation to Nietzsche’s philosophy.
