Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Yes, what is Dionysian? - This book provides an answer - "a man who knows" speaks in it, the initiate and disciple of his god.' The Birth of Tragedy (1872) is a book about the origins of Greek tragedy and its relevance to the German culture of its time. For Nietzsche, Greek tragedy is the expression of a culture which has achieved a delicate but powerful balance between Dionysian insight into the chaos and suffering which underlies all existence and the discipline and clarity of rational Apollonian form. In order to promote a return to these values, Nietzsche undertakes a critique of the complacent rationalism of late nineteenth-century German culture and makes an impassioned plea for the regenerative potential of the music of Wagner. In its wide-ranging discussion of the nature of art, science and religion, Nietzsche's argument raises important questions about the problematic nature of cultural origins which are still of concern today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nietzsche's first published book, The Birth of Tragedy is a compelling argument for the necessity of art in life This landmark work of criticism is fuelled by Nietzsche's enthusiasms for Greek tragedy, the philosophy of Schopenhauer and the music of Wagner, to whom the book was dedicated. Nietzsche outlined a distinction between two central forces in art: the Apolline, representing beauty and order, and the Dionysiac, a primal or ecstatic reaction to the sublime. He believed the combination of these states produced the highest forms of music and tragic drama, which not only reveal the truth about suffering in life, but also provide a consolation for it. Impassioned and exhilarating in its conviction, The Birth of Tragedy has become a key text in European culture. Translated by Shaun Whiteside Edited by Michael Tanner

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In "The Birth of Tragedy from the Spirit of Music," philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche explores the origins of Greek tragedy and its relationship with the human experience. Nietzsche argues that tragedy arises from the interplay between two fundamental forces: the Apollonian, representing order and rationality, and the Dionysian, symbolizing chaos and primordial instincts. By examining the tension between these forces, he reveals how tragedy embodies a balance of emotions and rationality, providing deep insights into the human condition. This groundbreaking work offers readers a unique perspective on the nature of art, culture, and the role of the artist in society.

Book excerpt: "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. In this, his first book, Nietzsche 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. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two representative and important works in one volume by one of the greatest German philosophers. The Birth of Tragedy (1872) was Nietzsche's first book. Its youthful faults were exposed by Nietzsche in the brilliant "Attempt at a Self-Criticism" which he added to the new edition of 1886. But the book, whatever its excesses, remains one of the most relevant statements on tragedy ever penned. It exploded the conception of Greek culture that was prevalent down through the Victorian era, and it sounded themes developed in the twentieth century by classicists, existentialists, psychoanalysts, and others. The Case of Wagner (1888) was one Nietzsche's last books, and his wittiest. In attitude and style it is diametrically opposed to The Birth of Tragedy. Both works transcend their ostensible subjects and deal with art and culture, as well as the problems of the modern age generally. Each book in itself gives us an inadequate idea of its author; together, they furnish a striking image of Nietzsche's thought. The distinguished translations by Walter Kaufmann superbly reflect in English Nietzsche's idiom and the vitality of his style. Professor Kaufmann has also furnished running footnote commentaries, relevant passages from Nietzsche's correspondence, a bibliography, and, for the first time in any edition, an extensive index to each book.

Book excerpt: Friedrich Nietzsche's 'The Birth of Tragedy' delves into the dichotomy between classical art and nihilism, exploring the origins of Greek tragedy and its relevance in a modern context. Written in a philosophical and poetic style, Nietzsche examines the tension between the Apollonian and Dionysian forces in art, asserting that true art arises from the fusion of these opposing elements.

In its exploration of cultural history and aesthetics, 'The Birth of Tragedy' remains a seminal work in the field of art theory and philosophy. Friedrich Nietzsche, a renowned German philosopher and cultural critic, drew inspiration from his studies in classical philology and his disillusionment with traditional morality to write 'The Birth of Tragedy.' His unique perspective on the role of art in society and his critique of Enlightenment values have influenced generations of thinkers and artists. I highly recommend 'The Birth of Tragedy' to readers interested in delving into the complexities of art, culture, and philosophy. Nietzsche's profound insights and provocative ideas will challenge your preconceptions and inspire you to reconsider the nature of beauty and meaning in the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Skillful, sophisticated translations of two of Nietzsche's essential works about the conflict between the moral and aesthetic approaches to life, the impact of Christianity on human values, the meaning of science, the contrast between the Apollonian and Dionysian spirits, and other themes central to his thinking. The Birth of Tragedy (1872) was Nietzsche's first book, The Geneology of Morals (1887) one of his last. Though they span the career of this controversial genius, both address the problems such as the conflict between the moral versus aesthetic approaches to life, the effect of Christianity on human values, the meaning of science, and the famous dichotomy between the Apollonian and Dionysian spirits, among many themes which Nietzsche struggled throughout his tortured life.

Download or read book The Birth of Tragedy or Hellenism and Pessimism written by Friedrich Nietzsche and published by Livraria Press. This book was released on with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nietzsche wrote "The Birth of Tragedy from the Spirit of Music", one of his most influential works, during his intensive friendship with Richard Wagner in Basel, after meeting him in Leipzig in 1868. In 1869, at the young age of 24, Nietzsche accepted a professorship in philology, which facilitated his acquaintance with the composer, who lived in Tribschen. In 1871, he began work on his book, originally titled "Origin and Goal of Tragedy". When it was published in Leipzig in January 1872, Die Geburt der Tragödie aus dem Geist der Musik (The Birth of Tragedy from the Spirit of Music) was warmly received by Wagner. The scholarly community, however, remained largely silent, except for the classical philologist Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff (1848-1931), Nietzsche's former colleague, who criticized the book in his "Zukunftsphilologie. Wilamowitz's critique shaped the direction of classical studies well into the 1940s, leaving Nietzsche largely marginalized. Nietzsche was 27 at the time of publication, and largely summarizes all of his major ideas up until that point. This translation is from the second edition Nietzsche published in 1886, which was re-titled "The birth of tragedy or Hellenism and Pessimism", sometimes translated "Greekness and Pessimism". This second edition contains the famous essay "Attempt at Self-Criticism". Here he introduces to the public the concepts of the Apollonian and Dionysian forces, representing the rational, orderly aspects of human existence and the chaotic, instinctual elements, respectively. Nietzsche argues that the interplay between these forces is central to the creation of meaningful art, particularly in the genre of tragedy, which he sees as a profound expression of the human condition. This seminal work posits that the beauty of the Greek tragedy arose from the tension and interplay between these Psychological opposing forces, suggesting that tragedy embodies the fundamental contradictions of human realities. Freudian theories of the subconscious were deeply influenced by Nietzsche and Schopenhauer's belief in these meta-psychological forces, which Nietzsche calls later the "inner gods". This new 2024 translation from the original German, Latin and Greek manuscript contains a new Afterword by the translator, a timeline of Nietzsche's life and works, an index with descriptions of his core concepts and summaries of his complete body of works. This translation is designed to allow the armchair philosopher to engage deeply with Nietzsche's works without having to be a full-time Academic. The language is modern and clean, with simplified sentence structures and diction to make Nietzsche's complex language and arguments as accessible as possible. This Reader's Edition also contains extra material that amplifies the manuscript with autobiographical, historical and linguistic context. This provides the reader a holistic view of this very enigmatic philosopher as both an introduction and an exploration of Nietzsche's works; from his general understanding of his philosophic project to an exploration of the depths of his metaphysics and unique contributions. This edition contains: • An Afterword by the Translator on the history, impact and intellectual legacy of Nietzsche • Translation notes on the original German manuscript • An index of Philosophical concepts used by Nietzsche with a focus on Existentialism and Phenomenology • A complete chronological list of Nietzsche's entire body of works • A detailed timeline of Nietzsche's life journey
