Nietzsche’s The Birth of Tragedy: From the Spirit of Music

“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.

Citações

  • Blanche Whitesmillfez uma citaçãoontem
    In the Dionysian dithyramb the human being is stimulated to the highest climax of all symbolic capabilities—something that was never before perceived demands to be expressed: the destruction of the veil of maya, oneness as the form of the human species, and even the unity of nature.
  • Blanche Whitesmillfez uma citaçãoontem
    Here especially the wildest beasts of nature were released, extending to that disgusting mixture of pleasure and cruelty that always seemed to me to be the original “witches brew.”
  • Blanche Whitesmillfez uma citaçãoontem
    Through singing and dancing, human beings express themselves as members of a higher togetherness; having lost the ability to walk and to speak along the way, they fly dancing into the air. Their gestures reveal the magic of transformation. Now, just as animals talk and the earth produces milk and honey, something supernatural occurs to human beings. Feeling themselves to be divine, they now walk as charmed and elated as the gods they saw transformed in their dreams. That person is no longer an artist but has become a work of art.
