Abstract

This paper examines the breakdown of Nietzsche’s metaphysical concept of genius in the mid-1870’s, understood as a complex Auseinandersetzung with Schopenhauer’s and Wagner’s concepts of genius. The tensions between them concerning truth and life-affirmation are what lead Nietzsche to displace genius with the «free spirit» (Freigeist) as his philosophical icon. With the Freigeist, it is argued, Nietzsche finally rejects Wagnerian genius in a move that recuperates and transforms features of Schopenhauer’s genius.
