aestheticism

<ethics> the position according to which the highest values (including the highest ethical values) are ultimately aesthetic values. The idea is often associated with nineteenth-century romanticism and personally with Friedrich Schiller, author of The Aesthetic Education of Man, and with Friedrich Nietzsche, both of whom sometimes exhorted their readers to "make your life a work of art".
