About this ebook
In this, his first book, he developed a way of
thinking about the arts that unites the Greek gods Apollo and Dionysus as the
central symbol of human existence. Although tragedy serves as the focus of this
work, music, visual art, dance, and the other arts can also be viewed using
Nietzsche’s analysis and integration of the Apollonian and the Dionysian. The Birth of Tragedy stands alongside
Aristotle’s Poetics as essential
works for all who seek to understand poetry and its relationship to human life.

About the author
Nietzsche opened the door to philosophy in the 20th century. He anticipated depth psychology, championed myth, attacked literalism in religion and the arts, placed humanity in an evolutionary perspective, and launched a critique of scientism that remains potent in the 21st century. Although he is often linked to the movement known as existentialism, Nietzsche’s overall work defies being placed in any single category.
