Abstract: “God” as the core values of western culture has always been to provide the ultimate concern for the West and to offer them solace after death. The God’s death led to an absence of the supreme value, leaving the West bitterly lonely in a world lack of meaning and full of absurd nature. In Nietzsche’s view, neither science nor morality can provide life with the ultimate value of care. Only art,inheriting the essence of the myth,can make human existance aesthetic and provide eternal and holy guidelines to life.

Key words: Nietzsche, art, life defense, aesthetic dimension
