Hyperion: On the Future of Aesthetics, the Nietzsche Circle’s e-journal devoted to applied criticism of the arts, is receiving wider and wider recognition, with many artists, writers, and gallery owners personally writing to us to express their admiration of the journal and its serious and thoughtful criticism.

Originally concerned with visual art alone, as many attentive readers will know, Hyperion has expanded to include criticism of literature, music, poetry, and theater as well as new translations of poetry. If interested in contributing to Hyperion, see our contributor’s guidelines and policy statement.

Hyperion is the most thoughtful, nuanced, handsome online interdisciplinary journal of aesthetics out there.” —Lance Olsen

Hyperion—an Internet magazine quickly becoming a required visit for anyone interested in the condition of contemporary American and world theatre.” —George Hunka, Superfluities

Nietzsche News Center (NNC) has highlighted the NC website as ‘site of the week’ since 2006. The Nietzsche Circle would like to thank NNC for its continued acknowledgement of our work.

Your donations are integral to our survival and enable us to sustain the organization and fulfill its goals.

The Nietzsche Circle would like to welcome its new advisors Paul S. Loeb, Vanessa Lemm, and Paul von Tongeren.
