Abstract

In this text Nietzsche’s concept of image is presented as it evolved with the development of his philosophy. In his early writings, particularly in The Birth of the Tragedy, what comes out is the image which is conceived as an artistic symbol, as an expression of nature and not as a representation of the world. If we consider the development of Nietzsche’s thought, we can see that in the last period we have instead a conception of the
image that depends on the idea of perspective, with a kind of image which is conceived as a representation. Image as a representation has lost every positive relationship to the world and is an important factor in the «will to power». The image now coincides with the Hegelian «end of art».
