Hyperion: On the Future of Aesthetics, the Nietzsche Circle’s e-journal devoted to applied criticism of the arts, continues to receive recognition and praise. To date, Hyperion has over 25,000 worldwide dedicated readers annually. See our new, beautifully designed pdf of the entire issue to view the future direction of the ever-evolving Hyperion.
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. What’s being said about Hyperion:
“Hyperion's level of criticism reaches far beyond the ambition of most . . . elegant, provocative, sometimes prophetic, and pitched far from both academia and the marketplace. [It exists] in the realm of the intensely-focused mind and spirit.”—George Hunka, Superfluities
“Hyperion is the most thoughtful, nuanced, handsome online interdisciplinary journal of aesthetics out there.” —Lance Olsen
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.
