Abstract
Following study follows transformation of the philosophical concept of art in the late thought of Friedrich Nietzsche and in the work of Martin Heidegger. The connection between the two authors is established through Heidegger's lectures on Nietzsche, dating from the second half of the 1930s.
The main focus of the study is to interpret the main features of Nietzsche's concept of art from his notes to the unfinished work Der Wille zur Macht (Will to Power), and to thematize its relation to Heidegger's think- ing of art. The intention of the article was to show in what sense both Nietzsche and Heidegger depart from the aestheticizing approach to art, returning to its precondi- tions and revealing a deeper problem of the question of art itself.
